AÂ charming coming of age memoir, sheddingÂ light on the workings of Leonard and Virginia Woolfâ€™s illustrious Hogarth PressÂ "I know I was expected to say something brilliant for the benefit of the group that had collected round us. The truth was that I had only really read Orlando, Mrs Dalloway and The Common ReaderÂ  . . . Â I said I didn't think she created character as well as a writer like Turgenev. I could see this didn't go down at all well and felt rather like Peter denying Christ."Â After a rather unsuccessful education at Marlborough College, in 1926Â 16-year old Richard Kennedy was put firmly under the wing of Leonard Woolf as his new protÃ©gÃ© at the Woolfs' printing press. SomeÂ 40 years later, and by then a professional illustrator, he wrote his recollections of his time with Virginia and Leonard Woolf in candid and often hilarious detail. He tells of the success that Virginia enjoyed, of their chaotic office with its collapsing shelves and of his own often hapless attempts to keep pace with the literary giants around him. Illustrated throughout with Kennedy's own sketches, this is a delightful work that offers a unique peep into the Bloomsbury set.
