Description: |
Everyone must forge his own path, and Christopher Robin Milne sought his against the background of two key experiences. The first was being A. A. Milnes son, which he poignantly describes in his first book. The second was the war, after which he and his wife made their home in Dartmouth, Devon, founding the Harbour Bookshop in 1951. |
Synopsis: |
The need to outgrow one's childhood influences and establish an individual identity is common to us all, but for Christopher Milne it was an especially difficult experience in view of the unique problems he faced as the son of A. A. Milne. In this warm, honest, and often amusing autobiography, he traces the path which, after several wrong turnings, ultimately led him and his wife, Lesley, to establish the successful Harbour Bookshop in Dartmouth - a path which led not to spectacular achievements, but to modest success and contentment. Wise, humble, and philosophical, The Path Through the Trees is Christopher Milne's search as a young man for his own place in life, told with the same sincerity and vividness that distinguished his first book, The Enchanted Places. '...it is readily, and with the utmost pleasure, I give this alpha-plus.' Bookseller '...it has great charm, and is most enjoyable.' Daily Telegraph 'An irresistibly attractive candour informs this book.' Economist |
