About A Traveller's Alphabet: Partial Memoirs

<p><span>This book is the nearest the renowned historian Sir Steven Runciman will ever come to writing his autobiography. His life and travels in many&nbsp;countries - Bahrain, Bulgaria, China, Greece, Mexico, Sarawak, Syria,&nbsp;Thailand, and Turkey - encompass a multitude of exotic, fascinating and amusing stories. From delivering a baby on the way to Thessaloniki, to visiting a Dyak chieftain's head-hunting collection, besieged in Tientsin in 1925,&nbsp; dropping hot wax on Field Marshal Montgomery's bald head at an Easter ceremony in war-time Jerusalem, lecturing through snow-storms in Canada, seeing ghosts when staying with a prince of Siam, fortune-teller to the King of the Hellenes, honorary Whirling Dervish, Sir Steven epitomizes the&nbsp; ever-curious travellers of the British Empire for whom the world was their oyster.&nbsp; </span></p> <p><span>Following his education at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was a Fellow, 1927-38, and Honorary Fellow, 1965, Sir Steven Runciman, as the eminent authority on Byzantine history, has held a number of&nbsp;appointments in numerous countries including Bulgaria, Egypt, Turkey and Greece. He has received twelve honorary doctorates and has lectured widely on his subject. He served for many years as President of the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara and as Chairman of the Anglo-Hellenic League and the National Trust for Greece. In 1082 he was awarded the Wolfson Literary Award. His best-known publications are A History of the Crusades, The Fall of Constantinople, 1453, The Great Church in Captivity, Byzantine Style and Civilisation, and Mistra (published by Thames and Hudson).</span></p>
