In this volume, the author shares reflections on her early life, including her experiences growing up in the Westmorland valley, familial influences, and connections to notable figures within her family, particularly her relationship to a literary and educational legacy linked to her grandfather, Doctor Arnold of Rugby. The opening of the memoir sets the tone as it delves into themes of age, memory, and the intrinsic desire to recount one's life experiences. The narrative begins with a philosophical musing about the impulse to share personal stories as time passes, a sentiment that resonates throughout the text. Ward recollects her arrival in England as a child from Tasmania, her life at Fox How, and the significant figures in her childhood, including her parents and grandparents, establishing a rich context for her upbringing. Through evocative imagery and poignant details, the author paints a vivid picture of her early days, setting the stage for the overarching narrative that explores her family's intellectual heritage and the transformative events that shaped her outlook on life and literature.
