From The Jeremy Trilogy, this book is a wonderful reminder of the magic of childhood, without being overly sentimental or saccharine. A pity Walpole had no children, I think he would have been a wonderful father.
Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole (1884-1941), a 20th-century English novelist, had a large and varied output. Between 1909 and 1941 he wrote thirty-six novels, five volumes of short stories, two original plays and three volumes of memoirs.
