My History: A Memoir of Growing Up

The acclaimedÂ New York TimesÂ bestselling author shares vivid memories of her childhood and recalls the experiences that set her on the path to a writing life.

Â Â Â Â Ever since she received Our Island StoryÂ by H. E. Marshall as a Christmas present in 1936, Antonia Fraser's deep love of history has been a constant in her remarkable life. The book made such an impression that it inspired her to writeÂ Mary, Queen of ScotsÂ thirty years later.
Â Â Â Â Born into British aristocracy, the author's idyllic early childhood was interrupted by a wartime evacuation to North Oxford. The relocation hadÂ profound effects on her life, not the least of which was her education at a Catholic convent and her eventual conversion from the Protestant faith to Catholicism. Her memories of holidays spent at Dunsany Castle and Pakenham Hall, a stint as "Miss Tony" selling hats in a London department store, and her early days working in publishing are all told in her singular, irresistible voice.
Â Â Â Â Â My HistoryÂ is a heartfelt memoir that is also a love letter to a British way of life that has all but disappeared. Anglophiles, history lovers, andÂ Downton AbbeyÂ fans are sure to be enthralled.
