Paddy Fermor's two-page tribute to his late friend and former comrade precedes a thirty-six page extract from Fielding's 1954 book 'Hide and Seek', presumably issued here as a tribute to Fielding, who had died two and a half years previously. Uncommon. "Xan Fielding was a gifted, many-sided, courageous and romantic figure, at the same time civilized and Bohemian, and his thoughtful cast of mind was leavened by humour, spontaneous gaiety and a dash of recklessness . he made countless friends, many of whom he retained for life, and the same qualities turned him into an ideal hideout companion in mountain goat-folds and caves" - from Leigh Fermor's foreword..
