Editorial Reviews:
Review:"Like [Evelyn Waugh's] father--as he appears in this volume--the son is a considerable impersonator. His prose is set to the felicities of misleading. This book is of great importance to students of his novels--though he does not yet discuss them--for it shows how long-established his preoccupations as a man and writer have been....The gentle portrait of the author's father is the longest in the book. It is interesting for many reasons, chiefly as an example of a quality that is generally overlooked by admirers of the son's comic originality....He can be accurate to the point of testiness....In the last chapter the frosts of youth vanish; the young sparkler appears. We see contemporaries who were later to become famous or notorious, among them Gerald Gardiner, Harold Acton, Robert Byron, and Brian Howard. Of the last two we have striking, not to say pungent preliminary sketches."
V. S. Pritchett, New Statesman, 9/25/64
Review:"We are all familiar with the exposures of public-school life in English novels and autobiographies. In Waugh's book the data are there, but there is no exposure; only a record, honest, restrained, convincing."
New York Times, 1964
