Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. 1974. First edition. xxi, 164pp. plus 2 double-page family trees, a frontispiece by Edward Ardizzone and 38 black and white illustrations. George Orwell was the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950). Before the First World War, his family mo…ved to Shiplake, Oxfordshire, where Eric became friendly with the Buddicom family, especially their daughter Jacintha. Growing up together, Buddicom and Blair became idealistic adolescent sweethearts, reading and writing poetry together, and dreaming of becoming famous writers.Blair also enjoyed shooting, fishing and birdwatching with Jacintha's brother and sister. This book is the first full account of Orwell's boyhood days, by Jacintha Buddicom. The book is bound in the original brown boards with a gold design on the front board. The case of the book is in very good condition with bumping to the top of the spine and a heavy dent to the top front spine corner that has caused a small bit of damage. The contents are tight and clean with a name, place and date neatly written on the front free endpaper. The unclipped dustwrapper has some shelf wear with light soiling and the spine is faded. There is slight fading along the top 1 1/2" of the front of the wrapper with a small darker patch where an old price sticker has probably been removed. The spine ends are bumped with a tear of about 1/4" on the top front spine corner and there is a 1" tear on the top rear edge. The tears have been repaired on the reverse with document repair tape.

About the book >.>.> GEORGE ORWELL, one of the outstand-ing writers of the age, has become a sym-bolic figure. There are many exposit…ions of his political influence, his literary effect, his later years: even of his schooldays at St. Cyprian's and Eton. One aspect of his life, however, remains obscure: what was the boy Eric Blair really like at home and with his young friends of those days? Those writing of George Orwell have found little illumination, and he himself left no detailed account of his boyhood. Jacintha Buddicom reveals that Eric Blair was an aloof and undemonstrative boy, self-sufficient and lacking the herd-instinct, he required no wide circle of friends. Nevertheless, at the age of eleven, in Shiplake, he observed a family of child-ren to whom he apparently took a parti-cular fancy.
