AN EXILE IN PARADISE: THE ADVENTURES OF EDWARD LEAR episode 1

A three part series . In 1848 Edward Lear, writer and illustrator of nonsense verse, set out on an epic journey through Greece and Albania. But Lear was more than just a humorist, he was an excellent landscape artist, traveller and writer of travel books. With Lear's writings and drawings as a guide, presenter Robert Horne followed Lear's journey through the awe-inspiring scenery of the southern Balkans, where he encountered fascinating reminders of a turbulent past and the warmth of the modern inhabitants: the inspiration for all travellers. Programme 1: Into Ottoman Lands In the attractive setting of Corfu, Robert Horne outlines Lear's background and some surprising connections with Greece and Athens before embarking on the journey proper from Thessaloniki to the Albanian border, taking in the breathtaking beauty of the mountain lakes, Prespa and Ochrid.
