This story of Winston Churchill's boyhood brings together Churchill's early writings, his mature recollections of childhood, and the commentary of his granddaughter, Celia Sandys. It presents a portrait of the impish, lonely and sickly little boy who, by his own tenacious attitude to life, lived to fulfil his youthful dreams and fantasies. Throwing light on the private writings of the young Winston, preserved but more or less ignored until now, Celia Sandys tells of a boy who survived against all the odds, to become one of the greatest statesmen of the 20th century.
