Before the First World War, his family moved to Shiplake, Oxfordshire, where Eric became friendly with the Buddicom family, especially their daughter Jacintha. Growing up together, Buddicom and Blair became idealistic adolescent sweethearts, reading and writing poetry together, and dreaming of becoming famous writers.Blair also enjoyed shooting, fishing and birdwatching with Jacintha's brother and sister.

About the book >.>.> GEORGE ORWELL, one of the outstand-ing writers of the age, has become a sym-bolic figure. There are many expositions of his political influence, his literary effect, his later years: even of his schooldays at St. Cyprian's and Eton. One aspect of his life, however, remains obscure: what was the boy Eric Blair really like at home and with his young friends of those days? Those writing of George Orwell have found little illumination, and he himself left no detailed account of his boyhood. Jacintha Buddicom reveals that Eric Blair was an aloof and undemonstrative boy, self-sufficient and lacking the herd-instinct, he required no wide circle of friends. Nevertheless, at the age of eleven, in Shiplake, he observed a family of child-ren to whom he apparently took a parti-cular fancy. These were the Buddicom children Prosper, a year younger than himself, and the two girls: Jacintha, small for thirteen, and Guinever, aged seven. With some ingenuity he contrived to make their acquaintance: and fro.
