A Time To Keep Silence.
London: John Murray 1957.

Brighton MCMLXIX.” Fermor has crossed out the ‘To’ in the printed ‘To my Mother’ dedication and inscribed the book as a thank you from his mother Aeileen Leigh Fermor. Known to her family as Fudge, Fermor’s mother moved in old age to a rest home near Brighton, Sussex, in the late 1960’s where Fermor visited her frequently. This book was likely given as a gift of appreciation to a friend of the family who assisted Fermor’s mother in her move from her home in Regency Square to Brighton.
