I can hear the creak of the saddle and the clop and clink of hoofs
as we cross the bridge over the brook by Dundell Farm; there is a
light burning in the farmhouse window, and the evening star
glitters above a broken drift of half-luminous cloud. It is with a
sigh that I remember simple moments such as those, when I
understood so little of the deepening sadness of life, and only the
strangeness of the spring was knocking at my heart.In the 1920s, a
young man, grappling with the horrors of the war from which he had
just returned, decided to write about a happier time. A time of
cricket matches and fox-hunting, the busyness of village life and
the shyness of youth.That man was Siegfried Sassoon, and this is
his book. Originally published anonymously, it went on to become
Faber & Faber's first bestseller. A classic depiction of
pre-First World War Britain, Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man tells two
mirrored stories, about a boy coming of age and a country losing
its innocence.
