It may be unusual, but it can happen that children fall in love: a strange and innocent sort of love, not involving sexual desire or consummation but possessed of its own intensity. In 1911 a boy of twelve, Sandy, and a girl of nine, Hermione, conceive just such a passion. Living in great houses whose estates adjoin, they spend two unforgettable summers together, but are ridiculed and then separated by their parents. After a lifetime spent apart they find each other again; Hermione has been greatly changed by loneliness, wealth and its responsibilities, while Sandy has experienced a long marriage and much worldly success. How can their childhood selves have remained intact, now that they have come together after so many years? . Signed Without Inscription. First Edition/First Printing. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine.
