内容简介 Book Description
Originally published in a small edition in England in 1951 by Rupert Hart-Davis, Michael Burn's Childhood at Oriol is a novel set in a pleasure resort on the northern coast of France. The resort with its umbrageous pine woods, beaches, golf courses, and casino is modeled on Le Toquet Paris-Plage, which, in the heady atmosphere following World War I, became the world's smart resort frequented by Noel Coward, Syrie Maugham, P. G. Wodehouse, and Edward, Prince of Wales. Childhood at Oriol is both the story of two energetic, mischievous, and sensitive children and a tender elegy for a place in time long forgotten.
