More about the book
Set in pre-World War I Oxford, the narrative captures a child's perspective on family life, friendships, and the small adventures of childhood. It intertwines the author's budding interest in botany with the interruptions of adult figures like Lord Haldane and other notable visitors, who bring their own quirks into her world. The book paints a vivid portrait of a bygone era while exploring themes of childhood innocence and the impact of scientific and political ideas on a young mind. An introductory essay by Ali Smith adds depth to the context.
