A Distant Prospect by Lord Berners
The sequel to Lord Berners' First Childhood, A Distant Prospect is a poignant and witty account of Eton, early adolescence and a boy's awakening to the spell of Wagner, ballet and musical composition. Not only witty and amusing, but contains things to ponder over in plenty behind the mere youthful years. The portraits of his friends are complete portraits, sketched brilliantly in a few strokes.' - Tatler'

This versatile peer has been called the English Satie. His ballets have been choreographed by Balanchine and Ashton.
