Tales from a Greek Island

by Roger Jinkinson

Often surprising, sometimes bizarre, never dull. Roger Jinkinson takes us far off the tourist-beaten track to explore life - and death - in a small village on a remote Greek Island. Meet the people he has come to know over 25 years - at once traditional and modern, hard-bitten and generous, stoic and resourceful. Learn how they fish, keep bees, hunt goats, make music. Read about the man who tried to ransom a floating crane, about the mule that outwitted the German army and the death of a giant. Read and you will feel the very pulse of a community as it fights to maintain its unique and vibrant culture.

A Note on the Author
Roger Jinkinson was born in the UK and has lived most of his life in London. Working in Higher Education, Roger's first job was cleaning the toilets. Later he became a lecturer and was appointed Deputy Vice Chancellor of a London University. After six years he quit to go fishing and spend more time among the people he loves. Roger first visited the Village in 1981 and over the years has come to appreciate and understand its values and traditions. Roger now has a house in the village and divides his time between fishing and diving, bee keeping, writing and photography. So far, he has resisted the many offers to keep goats.
