The author's departure from his beloved Fijian Service to become
Bursar of Rugby School was heart-rending for him. However, a major
factor in his decision was the chance to see more of his older
brother, the novelist C.P. Snow. Philip himself was a character in
three of his brother's novels and as his brother's reputation grew
(not only as a novelist but also as a minister in Harold Wilson's
government and later, in the House of Lords) new opportunities were
opened to Philip. So his story reads like a social history from the
1950s onwards, since he found himself rubbing shoulders with
eminent figures from a variety of fields - cricket, arts and
letters, politics, the armed services, the law, academia and
royalty.
