"Sir Herbert has combined his two previous volumes of autobiography into this new book. It begins with his childhood in Yorkshire and continues with a War Diary. The author was one of the poets of the first world war and this tells of his experience in France. The rest of the book is concerned with the author's intellectual development, his aestetic and philosophical interests, rather than a straight forward record of his life. It ends with a few chapters on certain historical characters associated with his yorkshire dales."
""[The author] has here woven the two major parts of Annals of Innocence and Experience together with an equal amount of material which has never been published before. The volume is divided into four parts: The Innocent eye, which formed the first part of the Annals, tells of his boyhood on a farm in Yorkshire. A War Diary consists of long extracts from letters, hitherto unpublished, written during the first World War, from camp and from France, to a correspondent at home . . . The Falcon and the Dove, which follows, is Part II of the Annals.""@en
