by Lord Berners (Author)

A poignant and witty account of Eton, early adolescence and a boy's awakening to the spell of Wagner, ballet and musical composition.

Readers of P. G. Wodehouse and E.F. Benson and fans of Monty Python will revel in Berners's youthful entanglements.

  • "Funny, unsparing, sharp yet fundamentally good-spirited." -The New York Times
