The classic memoir of a Cambridge childhood, written by Charles Darwin's granddaughter Gwen Raverat (1885-1957). It evokes a time when long summer days were disturbed by nothing noisier than a horse, and long winter nights were lit only by candle or gas lamp. It is a shrewd, touching and comic portrait of eccentric relations, and of Cambridge society when it was small enough to be treated as an extension of the family.
