520 $a"This is "the autobiography of a writer," and a writer of unusual diversity of achievement. With some his reputation stands highest as the prewar humorist of Punch; with others, as the author of what Alexander Woollcott called 'one of the three best mystery stories of all time.' Some like him most as an essayist, others as a novelist or dramatist. To many he will always be the man who wrote Peace With Honour, and to many more he is simply the author of four famous books for children. But the same personality has been behind all his work. As he says, "heredity and environment make the child, the child makes the man, and the man makes the writer." In this book we see that personality developing, from the precocious child at home to the clever, idle boy at school; thence, to Cambridge and the decision to "go to London and write." If in the latter half of the book A.A. Milne refrains from exhibiting himself and exposing his friends in the full-length modern fashion, nevertheless as a writer he tells us all his adventures and lets us into all his secrets."--Jacket.
