About This Item

Blue paper-covered boards with bright,crisp,blocked gilt letters to spine/backstrip and clean plain white endpapers. UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn,1-121pp. Medleycott is a house in Somerset with a big old garden: a private enchanted world for the two children who were growing up there during the years of the Second World War.Now Jane,a grown woman with children of her own, goes back and looks and remembers how it was,and what happened to make the two of them run away from the place they loved with such passionate intensity.This is a book about remembering,and like memory itself it shifts to and fro between today and yesterday,one summer and the next,till the whole story is pieced together.Characters come into sharp focus - forceful Betty who looks after the children,their remote,severe father who fills the house with fear when he descends on Medleycott,Pam and Susie the jolly land-girls,and the children's friend Mike,a conscientious objector who teaches Edward the violin.Jane and Edward come bursting off the page with their jokes and secrets,their joys and fears,and the atmosphere of an English village in World War II is almost tangible.
