Between the Woods and the Water
Blog correspondent Chris writes …
Hi Tom –
I have recently bought a copy of Between the Woods and the Water which has an inscription from PLF as follows: “to Michael and Dana___ with love from Paddy”. I can’t work out the second name, but it is 6 or 7 letters long and is something like Danari or Danavi. Just wondering if this might ring a bell for you? Perhaps someone will recognise who this might be?
Many thanks.
Does anyone have any ideas? Add a comment or email me – details in About and Contact. Someone has suggested it may be the travel guide author Dana Facaros.
Patrick Leigh Fermor 
Possibly Damaris, as in Damaris Stewart wife of Michael Stewart, Labour peer & friend of Paddy’s.
Also from Anne to me by email … Re Chris’ query – book inscription
Michael Stewart (1911-1994) & wife Damaris (1923-?). British Ambassador to Greece 1967-1971. Knighted in 1966. Close friends of Paddy & Joan, as was their daughter Olivia.
