Peter BarberPeter Barber - Author BioAward-winning and bestselling author Peter Barber is a native Londoner who now lives between England and Greece, balancing two very different worlds with varying degrees of success.His life changed when he married his wife Alxandra, a fiercely Greek force of nature who introduced him not only to her family but to the full experience of Greek life. What began as a cultural adjustment quickly became total immersion. Determined to understand the people, traditions, and rhythms of his adopted home, Peter threw himself into village life, often with enthusiasm slightly ahead of ability.From language mishaps to navigating the realities of Greek bureaucracy, family life, and local customs, Peter frequently found himself in situations he didn't entirely understand. Fortunately, he also found the humour in them.These experiences became the foundation of his much-loved Parthenon series, including A Parthenon on Our Roof, A Parthenon in Pefki, The Parthenon Paradox, and The Parthenon Odyssey: An Anglo-Greek Road Trip Across a Continent. His books go beyond travel, offering a warm, honest, and often very funny look at the realities of life in Greece, its people, its culture, and the small moments that make it unforgettable.Alongside his memoirs, Peter is the author of the popular Zorba series, a humorous fiction set in a Greek village centred around the life, chaos, and characters of a taverna by the sea. The series blends observational humour with a cast of unforgettable locals, capturing the spirit of community, tradition, and everyday life in Greece. The Zorba books include Zorba's Parthenon: A Taverna by the Sea, Zorba's Taverna, and Zorba's Embrace.Peter is currently working on a new book, The Dunstable Ladies Dance Academy, which brings his storytelling closer to home. Inspired by a real dance class, it explores friendship, community, and what happens when a diverse group of women come together and create something far more meaningful than they expected.Whether writing about Greece or the UK, Peter's work is defined by warmth, humour, and a deep appreciation for people and place. His stories remind readers that while cultures may differ, the things that matter most are shared.Peter is a proud member of the UK's Society of Authors. Read More Read Less
