IN YOUTH IS PLEASURE - DENTON WELCH KARTONIERT ...

'Unlike any other person I had come across  Welch seemed to be speaking particularly to me'
Alan Bennett    'Vivid ... surprising ... an exquisite balance of pain and beauty' Guardian  
Orvil Pym does not fit in. A waifish  eccentric  sensitive fifteen-year-old  he hates school
and longs to be alone. Spending his Summer holidays in a genteel Surrey hotel with his
mysterious father and two brothers who don't understand him  he explores ancient churches 
spies on a man rowing in the river and collects antiques  escaping into his own singular
aesthetic world. First published in 1945  this is an unforgettable portrayal of a young man's
sensuous coming-of-age.  'A heightened  sensual journey ... it is Orvil's vibrant energy that
allows this book to bubble ... beautifully odd ... spectacular' Independent
