In the Light of Glowworms….Reviewed in the United States on August 29Christopher Morley used the word "classic" to describe Logan Pearsall Smith's book. He praised it for its style, harmony, proportion and demure wit. I can hardly add more.Written mostly in his stateroom on a yacht chartered by Edith Wharton, you can almost imagine yourself in their company as they lounge and cruise the Mediterranean. Logan Smith is a master craftsman of the sentence.James Schuyler mentions "Unforgotten Years" in one of his poems, specifically the chapter concerning Walt Whitman. This interested me enough that I ordered a copy. I bought a copy of this wonderful 1939 hardback edition. It is a treasure.When Logan Smith was teenager, the elderly Whitman would regularly visit and stay at the Smith home. Of course Whitman gave inspiration to the youthful Smith. The casual manner Smith remembers knowing Whitman is endearing.For anyone who enjoys intellectual elegance Logan Smith is a pleasure.!—-A literate memoir!Reviewed in the United States on July 27Very engaging memoir of an American expatriate writer; beautifully written (if occasionally a bit twee), with some arresting epigrammatic insights. In a long, privileged life, Smith encountered an assortment of the great and famous, including Walt Whitman, Edmund Gosse, William James, Benjamin Jowett, Bernard Berenson, and Edith Wharton, and the anecdotes he recounts are sometimes amusing and revealing of character and personality. He offers an interesting glimpse of transatlantic Quakerism --including the revivalist efforts of his parents--and of Balliol College, Oxford in the late nineteenth century.—- This vintage hardcover book titled "Unforgotten Years" by Logan Pearsall Smith is a must-have for any book collector or lover of classic literature. With its original 1939 printing by Little, Brown & Company, this book is a rare find that is sure to impress. The book is packed with fascinating reminiscences and anecdotes from the life of its author, including his youthful associates, his time abroad, and his determination to live abroad and write. The inside pages have light page age tanning but are in great shape, and the binding is solid and intact. This book is a true gem for any reader or collector.
