About this book

Fragments of memory from London and Sligo begin this memoir by W. B. Yeats, published in 1916. He recalls looking from a window on Fitzroy Road, a battered toy boat, a red pony and two dogs at his grandparents' large house, and a remark by his great-uncle William Middleton about the troubles of children.

In the preface, dated Christmas Day 1914, Yeats says he wrote from memory after many years, consulting no friend, letter or old newspaper, and believes he altered nothing on purpose. The book is dedicated to the few people, mostly personal friends, who had read all he had written.
