First published in 1930. A charming memoir of the high Victorian-into-Edwardian epoch. Benson writes from the perspective of the son of an Archbishop of Canterbury, moving in elite circles since his adolescence, and also his successful career as a novelist. He aims to give a flavour of what the era felt like to him experiencing it. Chapters cover different facets, from aristocratic pursuits, literary life, politics, and art. There are lots of amusing personal anecdotes and gossip.
