Socially, I was much happier than I had been in college where I had felt myself the only virgin on campus and where I was insecure about my size, my age and my slow rate of physical maturation. I was back amongst old friends and there were a lot of them thanks to the sixties having created a suburban counterculture. I finished the sophomore year and took a job as an orderly at a convalescent and nursing home, the kind of job that might look good to the board. Paying my own way through school, the prospect of being pulled from school in the middle of a term was too much to risk. Then, having been at loggerheads with the DesPlaines draft board for some time for resistance, I was notified that proceedings against me were soon to begin. I was genuinely interested in study, but felt morally compelled to devote considerable time to political work and to the study of such subjects as history and political science which contributed to doing it intelligently. My first two years at Grinnell College were conflicted.

They already had a nanny-a family retainer who had looked after their mother when she was a child-but it was time to add someone younger and livelier to the household.Įnter Marion Crawford, a twenty-four-year-old from Scotland who was promptly dubbed "Crawfie" by the young Elizabeth and who would stay with the family for sixteen years. In the early thirties, the Duke and Duchess of York were looking for someone to educate their daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret, then five- and two-years-old. The Little Princesses shows us how it all began. The family moved to Buckingham Palace, and ten-year-old Princess Elizabeth became the heir to the crown she would ultimately wear for over fifty years. Suddenly the little princesses' father was King. We all know how the fairy tale ended: When King George died, "Uncle David" became King Edward VIII-who abdicated less than a year later to marry the scandalous Wallis Simpson. Their father was the Duke of York, the second son of King George V, and their Uncle David was the future King of England.

Soon after Margery's birth, the family left London for Essex. Margery earned her first fee at the age of eight, for a story printed in her aunt's magazine. Margery's aunt, Maud Hughes, also ran a magazine. Her father, Herbert John Allingham, was editor of The Christian Globe and The New London Journal, while her mother wrote stories for women's magazines as Emmie Allingham. Margery Louise Allingham was born in Ealing, London in 1904 to a family of writers. His family was wealthy and perhaps aristocratic, but while he was still quite young they were driven from the city by a tyrant named Lygdamis. He was born in 484 B.C., or perhaps a few years earlier, in Halicarnassus, a small Greek city on the coast of Asia Minor. Little is known of Herodotus's life beyond what can be deduced from his writings. Herodotus was heir to this tradition, and he was greatly influenced by his few predecessors, and especially by the ablest of them, Hecataeus of Miletus. However, at this early date there were as yet few clear-cut distinctions between the various disciplines, and historical writing included much that today would be regarded rather as the concern of the geographer, the anthropologist, or the economist. onward, wrote works on science and philosophy or on historical subjects. The earliest writings in prose had been the work of a group of Greek intellectuals from the Ionian cities of Asia Minor who, from about 550 B.C. In the lifetime of Herodotus the writing of history, and indeed of prose of any sort, was still something of a novelty. 425 B.C.) was the first Greek writer who succeeded in writing a large-scale historical narrative that has survived the passage of time.
