Ethel Alec-Tweedie recalls a comfortable Victorian childhood, marriage and a winter jaunt to Norway, then the widowhood that turned her into a working writer. She describes journalism and the making of books, and her encounters with writers, statesmen and travellers, from Sir Walter Besant to John Oliver Hobbes.
