Table of ContentsReviewsXan 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. Almost any stretch of his life might be described as a picaresque interlude. Patrick Leigh Fermor Author Information"Xan Fielding (19181991) was a British writer and traveler, and a lifelong friend of Patrick Leigh Fermor, who served with him in Crete during World War II. (The introduction to Fermor's A Time of Gifts is written as a ""Letter to Xan Fielding."") Fielding also translated many novels from French, most notably, The Bridge on the River Kwai and The Planet of the Apes. Robert Messenger is the books editor of the Wall Street Journal."
