In 'Child of the Red Lion' the author describes her childhood years in her hotel world - surrounded by adults whose behaviour was occasionally baffling to a young child - and even divulges some of the tricks she played on unsuspecting guests and staff. . . . [she] fondly recalls visits to her maternal grandparents' home farm at Coombe Bissett in the Ebble Valley where, among other things, she develop a life-long love of pigs." 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
