Pipe Lids and Hedgehogs

Gerald Stewart was born in 1925 in the Cotswold village of Coberley and spent his childhood at Winstone and Duntisbourne Abbots. This is a charming and modestly written autobiography with a foreword written by Dowager Duchess of Devonshire. It evokes an interesting and fulfilling life in the Cotswolds which, apart from the war years, has been spent within a ten mile radius of the author's birthplace.
