Originally published in a very limited printing in England in
1951, this enchanting rediscovery is set in a small villa among the
dunes of Le Toquet. It is the story of two energetic, mischievous
and sensitive children and their encounters with a privileged set
of adult visitors who are in Normandy for the season and who could
well have stepped out of a novel by P.G. Wodehouse. This magical
novel, which takes place between two world wars, will remind
readers of Dodie Smith's "I Capture the Castle" and Gerald
Durrell's "My Family and Other Animals."
Michael Burn will be 95 when "Childhood at Oriol" is released.
As a reporter for "The Times," he covered both the abdication of
Edward VIII, later the Duke of Windsor, and the faked Hungarian
trial of Cardinal Mindszenty.
