The Tamarisk Tree Vol 2-My School and the Years of War by Dora Russell
 
Dora Russell has observed and participated in most of the great events of the 20th century. In this, her second volume of autobiography, she continues to fascinating story of her family and herself up to the early years of the Second World War and gives a vivid account of her famous progressive school, Beacon Hill. Few people have lived so fully and courageously; fewer still can convey so delightfully to events of such a life.
