I owe a big debt of gratitude to my wife for assistance in the selection and arrangement of this book to Mr. and Mrs. Curran and Mr. and Mrs. Norman for many talks about A.E. and much helpful criticism and suggestion, to Mrs. E. Hickson for a similar service, and to my friend Rupert Hart-Davis for the infinite patience and care with which he has read the proofs.
