内容提要：
Originally published in a small edition in England in 1951 by Rupert Hart-Davis, Michael Burn’s Childhood at Oriol is an enchanting rediscovery, a novel set in a pleasure resort on the northern coast of France. The resort with its umbrageous pine woods, beaches, golf courses, and casino is modeled on Le Touquet Paris-Plage, which, in the heady atmosphere following World War I, became the world’s smart resort frequented by Noel Coward, Syrie Maugham, P.G. Wodehouse, and Edward, Prince of Wales. The author himself spent much of his adolescence there, and Childhood at Oriol is both the story of two energetic, mischievous, and sensitive children and a tender and engrossing elegy for a place in time long forgotten.
