In this, the companion volume to his earlier autobiographical
Apostate (1926), Forrest Reid continues his 'chronicle of a
prolonged personal adventure'. Private Road (first published in
1940) offers Reid's descriptions of his early writing efforts; a
youthful correspondence with Henry James that began with promise
yet ended disappointingly ('the Master was not pleased...'); his
Cambridge encounters with such luminaries as Ronald Firbank and
W.B. Yeats; the production and reception of his first published
works; and his valued friendships with E.M. Forster and Walter de
la Mare. The closing stages of the book reflect Reid's unique sense
of the spiritual: a compelling meditation on our 'second life' in a
place Reid calls 'dreamland', wherein a 'shadowy agent' conjures an
atmosphere that can hold powerful inspirational properties for the
artist. Faber Finds is devoted to restoring to readers a wealth of
lost/neglected classics and authors of distinction. The range
embraces fiction, non-fiction, the arts and children's books. For a
