In 1944, at the age of five, William Graves was taken from England to the delightful mountain village of Deya in Majorca, where his father - the poet Robert Graves - had returned with his new family to the place he had lived with Laura Riding before the war.
Young William grew up in the shadow of this great writer in the Englishness of the Graves household, while experiencing the ways of life of the Majorcans, which had hardly changed for hundreds of years.
Wonderfully observant, and full of feeling for the locality, this book is also a fascinating portrait of Robert Graves himself, his ''Muses'', and his entourage, and a revealing study of how the son of a famous father finds his own identity.
