Childhood At Oriol

Michael Burn

“An enchanting story of the fairy-tale-like youth of two British children, Childhood at Oriol has been resurrected from its 1951 limited printing. The novel maintains a sense of gallant storytelling; the author's methodology is consistent with the nature of childhood—innocent yet vaguely aware, and the novel's fluid language makes ordinary events appear interesting and inviting.”
—Rain Taxi

“A stately novel... beguiling, genteel.”
—The New York Times
