The Early Life of Mark Rutherford (W: Hale White) (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In Boyhood in Colchester, Rutherford recalls growing up among schools, parishes, and family life that forge a writer.

He reflects on early lessons, religious duty, and the shaping details of towns and rivers that left a lasting impression on his mind. Two brief, vivid sections frame his childhood in Colchester and Bedford, showing how place and daily life fed curiosity, imagination, and a stubborn will to persevere. The account mixes memory with moments of danger, wonder, and a growing sense of what it means to write.

• A portrait of a boy who loves outdoor play, exploration, and making small discoveries about the world.
• Scenes of family faith, schooling, and the friction between belief and questioning spirit.
• Notes on places that framed his early life, from the Ouse that runs through Bedford to seaside days at Walton-on-the-Naze.
• A candid look at the early steps toward becoming a writer, including encounters with mentors and publishers.
