{"product_id":"9780571279036","title":"Scenes of Childhood","description":"In the course of her brilliant career Sylvia Townsend Warner wrote superbly in many and diverse forms but never penned a memoir, properly speaking. However, from the 1930s to the 1970s she did contribute a series of short reminiscences to the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eScenes of Childhood\u003c\/i\u003e collects and orders those reminiscences, thus forming a volume that reads as a joyous, wry and moving testament to the experience of being alive. The collection evokes a recognisably English world of nannies, butlers, pet podles, public schools, 'good works' and country churches, but the resonances of these stories are universal - funny and touching by turns.","brand":"Faber and Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107556868336,"sku":"9780571279036","price":16.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780571279036_p0.jpg?v=1763719682","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780571279036","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
