Description

This volume gives us a glimpse into an enchanted childhood: peppered with a succesion of governesses, afternoon teas, turbanned cooks, eccentric relatives. This world belonged to an irrepressible, canny and curious girl for whom wild adventure lay beyond the creaking gate.

A delightful blend of nostalgia and history, this memoir provides a vivid account of Empire life through the eyes of a child.
