First words

'For weeks the trees have been heavy-laden with tired green leaves,' writes BB when autumn arrives in Brendon Chase, 'but now! What glory! What a colour ran riot in the undergrowth, how sweet and keen became the morning air.'

From the editors.

In January 1954, a vignette appeared in the New Yorker's 'Talk Of The Town' section, introduced only vaguely as a missive from 'a rather long winded lady'.
