A long-awaited reprint in an attractive new format of this book, first published in 1982. Liza grew up in the Keeper’s Lodge of Queens Wood, Highgate (now an ecology centre and café).
This is a unique memoir of life before and after the First World War, when Highgate was still a rural as well as an urban community.
