It was a moment of mad impulse when John Humphrys decided to buy a small house and a plot of land overlooking the Aegean. All it took was an afternoon.


His son Christopher - a professional musician - was already raising his family there. It would be so simple and enjoyable to build a beautiful home from home where they could all spend time together.


In fact it would test John to his limits and bring difficulties of Olympian proportions. When a neighbourly dispute began over the ownership of an olive tree in the middle of a grove of thousands, John was plunged not only into the impenetrable laws of Greek landholding, but into the centre of Greek life.

When local lore didn't defy all understanding, it had its funny side. And, for Christopher, it revived keen memories of the character of the man who loomed so large throughout his childhood.


Here father and son chart their odyssey in a book which captures a country, a people, a unique bond, and a dream...

Reseñas de la crítica

Praise for Lost for Words: 'Let us be very clear about this from the start: John Humphrys is a Good Thing'
Praise for In God We Doubt: 'There is all the erudition and pithy wit you would expect from Humphrys, but there is also a charming, genuine enquiry that shines through.'
