Collector's Guide
My Early Life is the only volume of personal memoirs that Churchill ever wrote. It is, arguably, his most entertaining book and an excellent entry point into his writing; a vivacious memoir of youth and wayward school boyhood. Published in the U.S. under the title A Roving Commission, the book has been endlessly re-issued in a variety of editions. True first editions, however, remain quite rare.
Description
A new hardcover edition of Churchill’s only volume of personal memoirs, superbly annotated by historian James W. Muller, and here published with Churchill’s ethereal, autobiographical short story, “The Dream.”
