It's All Greek to Me: A Tale of a Dog and Englishman, Ruins, Retsina -- and Real Greeks

In this Valentine to Greece, Mole describes his family's adventures as they reconstruct a house out of a ruined building in the picturesque village of Horio (hence the "mad dog" and "ruins" of the title). Mole also details his ongoing love affair with the country where he has spent at least part of every year for the past three decades.

It's All Greek to Me! represents travel writing at its best. Mole's descriptions of the people and places he encounters do for Greece what Peter Mayle did for France in his bestselling A Year in Provence and Frances Mayes for Italy in Under the Tuscan Sun. Despite Mole's numerous frustrations -- his home - to - be has 20 years of goat dung, but neither water nor electricity -- he never loses sight of the beauty of the countryside or the inner beauty of the people of his adopted "home," Greece.
