In this sparkling voulme Quentin Bell provides a remarkable collection of pen portraits - of his parents Vanessa and Clive; of his aunt and uncle, Virginia and Leonard Woolf; of Roger Fry, E.M.Forster, Ottoline Morrell, Maynard Keynes, Lytton Strachey and many more. In writing about them he also tells the story of his own work: his employment as agricultural labourer, his career as artist - in two and three dimensions - and teacher of art, critic, writer, and as reluctant spokesman of Bloomsbury.

Elders and betters
I had the great good fortune to meet Quentin Bell at Charleston farmhouse when he was signing copies of this book. Cressida Bell was there too, having designed the cover for him.
He was a wonderful old man and it was an incredible experience to meet him for a moment. To be close to someone who had met all those amazing people Virginia and Vanessa, Clive and Duncan, Lytton, Carrington, Maynard, Roger, etc, etc. He knew them all, and that is what this book is all about - all those names that went before.
He was a wonderful man, so old and frail at the time, but he had a twinkle in his eye, one of good natured humour that I will always remember. It was an honour to shake his hand that day.
