Fermor's introduction precedes a 36-page segment from Fielding’s 1954 book, “Hide and Seek.” Fermor wrote: "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." Presentation inscription to Matthew Jennett, one of Fermor’s Greek-American friends and collaborators. Also laid in is an autograph post card signed, from Fermor to Jennett.
