Publisher's Synopsis
From early childhood, Candida Lycett Green has retained a love of green lanes and tracks, of moving at a horse's pace and of observing the beauty of England through the back door. Framed by a recent 150-mile journey through Yorkshire and Northumberland with a friend, she reflects on her childhood in the bohemian Betjeman household, a honeymoon journey overland to India, early days at PRIVATE EYE, and the ups and downs of thirty-nine years of marriage and motherhood. Her story is made all the more poignant by her recent fight with breast cancer.
