2547 The Weald of Youth, by Siegfried Sassoon (read 31 Oct 1993) This is a 1942 book telling of Sassoon's life from 1909 to 1914. I found the book worth reading, though Sassoon did next to nothing during those years and talked of fox-hunting, cricket, and what a callow youth he was, with scarcely a worthwhile interest except wanting to be a poet. This book has an air that is fascinating, telling of non-events preceding momentous times for Sassoon and all the world. I am surprised but glad I read the book. ( )
