Paddy & Billy: WW2 Crete

A tribute to the heroic adventures of Patrick Leigh Fermor and William Stanley "Billy" Moss on Crete in WW2, including a closer look at Paddy's letters and other writings. I have been a fan of Patrick Leigh Fermor for years, but what does Billy's book, Ill Met By Moonlight, add to our knowledge? This is a crossover episode with our Spies of London podcast, and the first of two special episodes on this subject. Enjoy! In the show I refer to an article I wrote about letters and diaries of famous people. You can read it here: https://paulcdettmann.com/2020/02/08/the-art-of-the-letter

It's one way I have to share my love of books and printed papers with the world. Most of the books will be quite old, some will be rare, but others will be new. All of them will be unusual or notable in some way. It's your way to visit the library without visiting the library. Additional voice work by Miranda Keeling.
