Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Writer's Recollections
I can remember too being lifted - weak and miserable with toothache - in my father's arms to catch the first sight of English Shores as we neared the mouth of the Thames; and then the dismal in by the docks where we first took shelter. The dreary room where we children slept the first night, its dingy ugliness and its barred windows, still come back to me as a vision Of horror. Next day, like angels of rescue, came an aunt and uncle, who took us away to other and cheerful quarters, and presently saw us Off to Westmorland. The aunt was my godmother, Dr. Arnold's eldest daughter - then the young wife Of William Edward Forster, a Quaker manufacturer, who afterwards became the well-known Education Minister Of 1870, and was Chief Secretary for Ireland in the terrible years 1880-82.
