Myself When Young
byNorton, $3.00.
The author of Maurice Guest. The Fortunes of Richard Mahony. and so forth, was completing this autobiography, which ends where her novel-writing begins, when she died in 1940. Henry Handel Richardson grew up in Melbourne and various small towns in Australia. Hers (unlike that of most novelists) was a happy and successful childhood, and her memories of Australian life in the eighties make an engaging story. Later, her musical talent prompted a family migration to Europe, and the Leipzig Conservatory becomes the background of the years leading up to her marriage. Myself When Young is an attractive record of an unusual Victorian childhood and youth.
