The Crystal Cabinet: My Childhood at Salterns

Mary Butts

4.9/5 (22566 ratings)

Description:English novelist and short-story writer Mary Butts (1890-1937) fell several decades ago into the ``little-known'' category, but back in the 1920s and 1930s her work-and her personality-were recognized as quite distinctive by her fellow writers in London and Paris, the cities she called home. This memoir of her childhood was published posthumously in 1937 and is now appearing for the first time in its unexpurgated form. The previously unavailable sections are in no way naughty; they deal with her feelings about people in her life and include comments that some felt improper to be published. Her memoir is impressionistic, atmospheric, full of emotion. Country life, the house she grew up in, school, family members-these are the supports around which Butts weaves a word-beautiful evocation of growing up female in an age when such a process had its ingrown restrictions. Butts' perception of the world and her eloquence in explaining it are so luminous they will attract readers who may never read any of her fiction.
