| Description: |
Leslie Delbridge was brought up at Sandyway. The house was damp, the carpet a piece of sacking, and the veneer peeled off his mother's piano. He used to run the 3½ miles to Twitchen school, in spite of having had rheumatic fever. He loved rabbiting and spent hours in the river groping trout. His father was an alcoholic.
