In this charming book we see Margaret Hutchinson in her rather special background, thast of a large Quaker family in the pre 1914 days. She recaptures with complete integrity the thought, feelings and outlook of an observant little girl with a deep feeling for, and understanding of, nature. In a somewhat frugal life the garden, farm, woods and meadows were an unfailing attraction and cost nothing; the children were never bored. The book is illustrated throughout, not only with photographs taken by 'Aunt Kitty', but with delightful collections of the immediate family and of uncles, aunts and cousins, and above all Miss Hutchinson's distinguished grandfather the surgeon, Sir Jonathan Hutchinson,F.R.S. who founded the well knownHaslemere Educational Museum.
