‘First Childhood’, by Lord Berners
This is Lord Berners’ first autobiographical book, written in 1941, and takes the reader from his early childhood memories up to his first four terms at Elmley.  

‘A Distant Prospect’, by Lord Berners
This book is a sequel to his previous autobiography, ‘First Childhood’, and is similarly set out in short chapters.  It takes the reader from the time Gerald (Lord Berners) left Elmley, his Preparatory School, through to his time at Eton.  It is the late 1890’s and he is at the beginning of his teenage years (a phrase not yet invented).
