Excerpt from The Puppet Show of Memory
We used to go in the summer to Coombe Cottage, near Malden, an ivy-covered, red-brick house, with a tower at one end, a cool oak hall and staircase, a drawing-room full Of water colours, a room next to it full of books, with a drawing-table and painting materials ready, and a long dining-room, of which the narrow end was a Sitting-room, and had a verandah looking out on to the garden. There was also a kitchen garden, lawns, a dairy, a gardener, Mr. Baker, who made nosegays, a deaf-and dumb under-gardener who spoke on his fingers, a farmyard, and a duck-pond into which I remember falling.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating memoir that delves into the author's childhood and early life. Recalling a time before the First World War, the author paints a vivid picture of upper-class British society in the late 19th century. The book takes the reader through the author's days in the nursery, the schoolroom, and beyond, revealing a world filled with elaborate rituals, strict social codes, and a deep immersion in literature and the arts. The authorââ â¢s memories of childhood offer a glimpse into the unique and often humorous dynamics of family life, the complexities of sibling relationships, and the influence of a governess on a young mind. Through the lens of these childhood experiences, the author explores themes of class, education, and the importance of imagination. More than a nostalgic look back, the book offers insightful reflections on the era's social mores, the power of memory, and the enduring fascination of the past. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
