One of the lesser known Greek islands is Kalymnos, on the Turkish side of the Aegean. Last weekend the island had a significant event – the launch of a Greek language edition of a book that was first published in English in 1955.

The local population has only recently learnt of the existence of 'Mermaid singing', an account of life on Kalymnos. It was written by Australian author Charmian Clift, who spent time there with her husband George Johnston and their two children, before they relocated to the island of Hydra.
