This book contains the memoir of Benson's entire life from 1867 to 1940. It provides insight into his childhood and eccentric family as well as life during Victorian and Edwardian times. Benson completed this book just ten days before he died and it gives huge tribute those he loved and shows his great dedication to his work. This book was originally published in 1940 and would be fine addition to the bookshelf of those who collect Benson's work.
