Peterley, David
Peterley Harvest - The Private Diary of David Peterley
286 pages. Book and dust jacket have yellowed (former owner was probably a smoker) but are otherwise physically very nice. A personal document of great frankness and a study of romantic disillusion of great literary charm. Also a record of the literary and political events in which he played a part from 1926 to 1939. Among its pictures of contemporary life in London and Prague, the most vivid and historically the most interesting is that of some of the inside happenings at the time of the Munich crisis, an imbroglio with which Peterley's life was romantically intertwined.

"What is it like to experience waiting to be executed? It is lastingly horrifying even by vicarous experience. Believe me." But don't worry, there were lighter moments as well! Author won the Brissendon Scholarship for creative writing at the University of British Columbia. Book
