Book Description
This delightful book contains the detailed memoirs of the Augustus Hare's adoptive mother. She began the endeavour as a memoir to her beloved husband and their common life at Alton. Due to ill health, she had to lay aside her work, but, after the death of her sister-in-law, took it up once again. Unfortunately, her increasing infirmity brought the end of her life ever nearer, and the task of completion was bestowed upon her adopted son, Augustus John Cuthbert Hare, who diligently noted down her dictations and reformed her notes and previous writings into this most fascinating and expertly composed book. A story of the interweaving lives of the people around her, this memoir is a marvellous story sure to appeal to the discerning reader, as well as those interested in the life and work of Augustus Hare. Augustus John Cuthbert Hare (1834 - 1903) was an English writer and raconteur. This text was originally published in 1874, and is proudly republished here complete with a new biography of the author.
