Tied to his college for half the year, Benson takes a quiet country house for the other half and writes about what he thinks there. The essays move from contentment, friendship and humour to travel, specialism, the apparent lack of great men, shyness, equality, a visit to William Morris’s Kelmscott and the oddities of a school speech-day.
