The Last Of The Wine - A Superb Historical Novel of Ancient Greece Mary Renault Published by Pocket Books Seller: Wonder Book, Frederick, MD, U.S.A. All my sense of the ancient world - its values, its style, the scent of its wars and passions - comes from Mary Renault. But it was her travels in Greece that resulted in her previous brilliant historical reconstructions of ancient Greece. She has traveled considerably in Africa and has gone up the east coast to Zanzibar and Mombasa. ![]() After the war, she went to South Africa and settled at the Cape. One of them, Return to Night, received the MGM award. Her next three novels were written during off-duty time when serving in World War II. She then trained for three years as a nurse, and wrote her first published novel, Promise of Love. She first went to Oxford with the idea of teaching, but decided that she wanted to be a writer instead, and that after taking her degree she should broaden her knowledge of human life. Mary Renault was born in London, where her father was a doctor. ![]()
