About this book
Maurice Baring recalls his own life in this 1922 memoir, starting with a Christmas tree at about the age of two. Chapters follow the nursery and schoolroom, the house at Membland, school and Eton, then Germany, Italy, Cambridge, Oxford, Paris and Copenhagen. A chapter on Sarah Bernhardt and one on Rome lead into several on Russia, Manchuria and the war there, and then Constantinople in 1909 and 1912 and the Balkan War. The note thanks Methuen for allowing use of material from two earlier books.
