"There is one old book that should be read by all who plan to journey there..... When one reads Bent's book and carries it with one while travelling through the Cyclades, one can see, beneath the profound changes that have taken place in the century since his visit, that there are deep and enduring links with its rich and remote past." (John Freely, The Cyclades, London, 1986, page 31) (John Allaway pointed this out to me).

Jim Wainger, who had a copy of this new Tecla edition, was in correspondence and I wrote to him: "While you're on Santorini, if you should wish to write anything on Bent's chapter on that island as seen from the island today, maybe we could put it on the website. Only if you want to, of course." And he has done it. Here it is (January 2001).
