Footnote
Note: Inscribed by the author the fellow writer who persuaded Durrell to move his entire family to Greece following their meeting on Corfu in July 1934. Although the precise number of copies of Transition printed is not known (probably fewer than 100) much of the print run was destroyed, along with copies of the author's Ten Poems, in the same warehouse during the Blitz.
