YUGOSLAVIA has many lures to attract the visitor from abroad besides the favourable rate of exchange and low cost of living. Readers of this book will have an appreciation of what has led Stowers Johnson to return there year after year to enjoy the brilliance of the Adriatic summers, the superb landscapes and the diversity of people. A range of costume and custom among the seven states of Yugoslavia pass before the traveller`s eye with kaleidoscopic variety. A few miles and another language, race, and way of life appears — yet it is still Yugoslavia. Today a communist government and creed link them all. How can that be with such a bewildering pattern of variety? The author does not claim to answer this question. He has visited almost every part of Yugoslavia from Croatia in the North to the Albanian Lakes on the Southern borders, from the Catholic to the Greek Orthodox areas, and amongst the Moslems who are `more Turkish than the Turks themselves`. He has travelled along the smaller roads as well as the new motorways, not staying with tourists in the large hotels but camping in his motor caravan. Roadside meals and his knowledge of Balkan languages have brought him into direct contact with the people. He has a poet`s eye for detail and he gives a vivid and entertaining picture of Yugoslavia today. In his narrative the reader will find a wealth of solid information as well as enjoyment and personal interest.



STOWER JOHNSON was educated at Brentwood School, Essex, the College of St. Mark and St. John, Chelsea, Queen Mary College and the School of Slavonic Studies.
He graduated from the University with an Honours B.A., and is Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. He became a schoolmaster, and is now the Headmaster of a secondary school in Essex.
Stowers Johnson has many and varied interests, including yachting, cart collecting, beekeeping and photography. His chief interest, however, is in the field of international relations, and he is a member of several societies for fostering friendship with other . countries, including Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, the USSR, Sweden and Turkey. He has travelled extensively in all parts of Europe.
Mr. Johnson`s previous publications include travel books on the Pyrenees, Ireland and Bulgaria. A member of the General Council of the Poetry Society, he has published five volumes of poems. He is married, with one son.
