Jeremy And Hamlet: A Chronicle Of Certain Incidents In The Lives Of A Boy, A Do…
Hugh Walpole
Read by David Wales
Hamlet is Jeremy’s dog. This 1923 book is Hugh Walpole’s second volume in his Jeremy semi-autobiographical trilogy (Jeremy (1919 available at librivox.org), Jeremy at Crale (1927, available at fadedpage.org)), about a ten-year-old English boy. One commentator wrote this of the first book: “With affectionate humor, Mr. Walpole tells the story of Jeremy and his two sisters, Helen and Mary Cole, who grow up in Polchester, a quiet English Cathedral town…. Mr. Walpole has given his narrative a rare double appeal, for it not only recreates for the adult the illusion of his own happiest youth, but it unfolds for the child-reader a genuine and moving experience with real people and pleasant things.” - Summary by Joseph Hergesheimer, Hugh Walpole: An Appreciation, 1919, p 38 and david wales (7 hr 10 min)

Reviews
I Did Enjoy This
TheTellMeLady
The author gives a fine glimpse into the inner workings of humanity and thankfully is able to do this without a choking amount of sport analogies during Jeremy's time at school. It is well read! My only regret is that the 3rd book in the trilogy is not available here

Too good a story to sleep to, it ruined my naps this weekend!
