    About this ebook

    An utterly gorgeous portrait of the artist as an awkward young man, struggling to find his muse amidst his conflicting passions for sport and poetry. In this memoir of his time before the war, Siegfried encounters some of the great literary and sporting characters of his day and recounts his young man's adventures in late Edwardian London. The author describes his activities as a sportsman, his involvement in the London literary circle, and the beginnings of his career as a poet and writer.

    Author

    Siegfried Sassoon

    Siegfried Sassoon was born in 1886 and educated at Clare College, Cambridge. He served in the trenches during the First World War, where he began to write the poems for which he is remembered. Despatched as ‘shell-shocked’ to hospital, he organised public protest against the war. His poetry initially met with little response, but his reputation grew steadily in the following decades.
