| Description: |
Contributes a series of short reminiscences to the "New Yorker". This title collects and orders those reminiscences, thus forming a volume that reads as a joyous, wry and moving testament to the experience of being alive. It evokes a recognisably English world of nannies, butlers, pet podles, public schools, 'good works' and country churches. |
| Synopsis: |
In the course of her brilliant career Sylvia Townsend Warner wrote superbly in many and diverse forms but never penned a memoir, properly speaking. However, from the 1930s to the 1970s she did contribute a series of short reminiscences to the "New Yorker". "Scenes of Childhood" collects and orders those reminiscences, thus forming a volume that reads as a joyous, wry and moving testament to the experience of being alive. The collection evokes a recognisably English world of nannies, butlers, pet podles, public schools, 'good works' and country churches, but the resonances of these stories are universal - funny and touching by turns. |
