Synopsis
A lyrical memoir that threads memory, landscape, and art from a London nursery to the world of theatre.
The book revisits childhood moments—cradled by family, nannies, and a magical toy—while tracing how memory selects the sights and sounds worth keeping, and how the imagination transforms them into lasting wonder.
From the echoing streets of early London to summer days at Coombe Cottage, the pages fuse sensory detail with mood. The author reflects on the power of memory to illuminate art, and on how famous performances and painters echo the inner life of a child growing up among books, pictures, and music.- Experience intimate, vividly described scenes from nursery life, family, and early childhood.
- See how memory acts as an editor, shaping what remains precious and worth retelling.
- Discover portraits of theatre, literature, and the artists who redefine what we call art.
- Enjoy rich allusions to poetry, music, and visual art that deepen the memoir’s texture.
