'CYNICS WHO THINK POLITICIANS NEVER GROW UP WILL FIND PLEASURE IN DISCOVERING HOW ONE OF THEM BEHAVED WHEN HE WAS A CHILD RATHER THAN JUST CHILDISH: ROY HATTERSLEY, MAIL ON SUNDAY. This book is a delightful and illuminating journey through Winston Churchill's early years. Churchill himself is the guide, leading his granddaughter Celia Sandys down avenues previously unexplored. From the separate strands of her grandfather's earls' writing, his mature recollections of childhood and her own comment, she weaves a fascinating story of the impish, lonely and sickly little boy who by his own tenacious attitude to life survived against all odds to fulfil his earliest dreams and fantasies. Drawing on fresh material from tile family archives. Celia Sandys makes the first in-depth study of her grandfather's formative years. Lavishly illustrated throughout and reproducing in facsimile many of the young Winston's letters and first artistic efforts., this captivating book brings us the intimate writings of Churchill's youth. which, for over a century, have been preserved and largely ignored. Celia Sandys questions legendary beliefs and examines the childhood influences that contributed to the character of the man destined to lead his country in its darkest hour. The Churchillian hallmarks are already there, reflected iii his determination to succeed, his youthful perception and his hair-raising heroic escapades. Celia Sandys is a granddaughter of Sir Winston Churchill. Her mother was Churchill's eldest daughter, Diana, and her father Lord Duncan-Sandys, the former cabinet minister and member of his father-in-law's wartime government. She is married, has four children and lives in Wiltshire. ., Sinclair-Stevenson, 1994, 3<
