First edition of Violet Trefusis autobiography, in which she covers a life from the first thing I remember , through her Edwardian upbringing as the daughter of Alice Keppel (mistress of King Edward VII), her entry into Parisian aristocratic and literary circles, her interactions with Cocteau and Proust, her return to England during the war, and ending with her mother s death in 1947, though it omits entirely her relationship with Vita Sackville-West - despite being read and edited by Vita in Florence prior to publication.
