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
