Diana Athill has written three memoirs which have been acclaimed as classics for their insight, candor and wit: Instead of a Letter, After a Funeral, and Stet: An Editor's Life. Here she goes back to the beginning, in a sharp evocation of a childhood unfashionably filled with happiness—a Norfolk country house, servants, the pleasures of horses, the unfolding secrets of adults and sex. This is England in the 1920s, seen from the vantage point of England in 2001. It was a privileged and loving life: but did it make her happy?

About the Author:
A remarkable, truthful and vivid recollection of childhood, from the author of Stet, After a Funeral, Don't Look at Me Like That and Instead of a Letter. Here Athill goes back to the beginning in a sharp evocation of a childhood unfashionably filled with happiness - a Norfolk country house, servants, the pleasures of horses, the unfolding secrets of adults and sex. This is England in the 1920s seen (with a clear and unsentimental eye) from the vantage point of England in 2001. It was a privileged and loving life: but did it equip the author to be happy?
Diana Athill was born in 1917. She worked for the BBC during the Second World War and then helped Andre Deutsch establish the company that bore his name. For nearly five decades she edited some of the most celebrated writers in the English language until her retirement in 1993. She lives in Primrose Hill, North London.
