Book description
>For the children it was an idyllic time of joy and adventure: of
gleaning at the end of summer, of oil lamps and wells, of harvests and
harvest mice in the Great Meadow.
This lost world, visited fleetingly in A Postillion Struck by Lightning
, the first volume of Dirk Bogarde s autobiography, is seen here through
the eyes of an innocent but shrewd eleven-year-old. With great
sensitivity and poignancy it captures the sounds and scents, the love
and gentleness that surrounded the young boy as the world outside
prepared to go to war.> >For the children it was an idyllic time
