An evocative childhood memoir by the much-loved illustrator of Winnie the Pooh and The Wind in the Willows. In this autobiography, E.H. Shepard describes a classic Victorian childhood. Shepard grew up in the 1880s in Saint John's Wood with his brother and sister. He was surrounded by domestic servants and maiden aunts, in a an age when horse-drawn buses and hansom cabs crowded the streets. Recalling this time with charm and humour, Shepard illustrates these scenes in his own distinctive style.

A unique insight into the work of the illustrator of Winnie the Pooh. Ernest Shepard was born in 1879 and died in 1976. His work ranged from illustrations recording his Victorian childhood to encompassing the events of both the Great War and the Second World War, and included regular contributions to Punch and, of course, his illustrations for 'Winnie the Pooh' and 'The Wind in the Willows' which led to his recognition as one of the foremost illustrators of children's books this century.
