The book we’ve been reading on living in/moving to Cyprus has made reference to a much earlier book called In an Enchanted Island, or A Winter’s Retreat in Cyprus, written by WH Mallock and published in 1892. Surprisingly, this book went to three editions. Unsurprisingly, it’s long since gone out of copyright and available for free download. Our current Cyprus book is heavily padded and underedited, but Cyprus as seen by an Englishman in the nineteenth century may have some historical interest - or at least curiosity value.
