Robert Crisp was an eccentric Brit - a famous Cricket player who dropped out of sight except for some articles he wrote for a publication, which were eventually worked into a memoir by his son Peter. At age 50 or so the elder Crisp settled in a free two-room shack in Greece near a beach, and made efforts to live on 10 pounds sterling a month, gardening, keeping some livestock and generally living a Thoreau-style existence. It's well-written and engaging, although not particularly unique - I've read books like this before.
Worth a look.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for a review on NetGalley.com.
