That pretty person, children in midwinter, the man with two heads: Alice Meynell's essay titles hint at her angle of vision, oblique and exact. The celebrated poet watches children think, speak and play, and renders them in some of the finest prose of the 1890s. Miniatures, polished like silver. Childhood, caught by a master stylist.
