Eliot. He recounts the post-war establishment of his publishing company, Rupert Hart-Davies Ltd, his great friendship with Siegfried Sassoon, whose letters and diaries he later edited. Alongside this he also tells of family life in Oxfordshire and Yorkshire, and of his love for Ruth Simon, who eventually becomes his wife.
