Beschreibung:
A narrative of the remarkable life of polymath Val ffrench Blake. If the word polymath is defined as a "e;person of varied learning"e; then Val ffrench Blake surely qualifies. In this book he writes with refreshing candor and insight about his family, Eton in the 1920s, Sandhurst and the life of a cavalry officer in 1930's India, and his subsequent participation in World War II. Blake's post-war life was no less interesting - he helped re-establish a forward-thinking syllabus at Sandhurst, left the Army to farm, and was immensely involved in the horse world.
