Maxwell's love for his childhood home, his yearning for it when "exiled" to dreadful boarding schools, repressed and misunderstood sexuality during puberty and adolescence (appalling lack of information available at the time), shyness, friendships, embarassment... A frank and elegant memoir that helps understand the character of the man who adopted otters and wrote Ring of Bright Water.
