This candid memoir of an unconventional Northern childhood and upbringing traces the influences which made the author into a renowned architectural historian and author. (This is his twenty-first book). His hereditary Catholicism plays a strong role, perhaps endorsing Gibbon's assertion that 'the Catholic superstition, which is always the enemy of reason, is often the parent of taste'. He admits to a certain lack of political correctness and an admiration for 'sustained flights of irony'. The result is constantly stimulating and amusing.
