Diana Athill has written three memoirs which have been acclaimed as classics for their insight, candor and wit: Instead of a Letter, After a Funeral, and Stet: An Editor's Life. Here she goes back to the beginning, in a sharp evocation of a childhood unfashionably filled with happiness—a Norfolk country house, servants, the pleasures of horses, the unfolding secrets of adults and sex.
