Time of my life
An autobiography from the pen of the author of Three Men in a Boat and a Wanderer, published just a year before his death
In his typical witty, concise style and without any serviettes, he returns to the beautiful as well as the cruel times of his childhood and adolescence, to his parents and the sadness of their loss.
Memories of poverty and upbringing in Victorian England, and in a rather strained religious spirit, are interspersed with stories of the first steps towards writing fame, subsequent successes and difficulties with criticism, the theatre and the then not-so-favourable laws of the publishing world. The author's famous colleagues, America, and the European travels he was able to afford when he finally broke through, which then inspired his next works, do not escape comment.
