A review by caroparr
England Have My Bones by T.H. White

I think this book was kicking around the house when we were growing up, and I grabbed it but had never read it until now. A year (1934) in the life, focusing on fishing, hunting and flying in and over the English countryside. Good for dipping into. This copy is quite wonderful: the cover (no dust jacket) is designed with White's drawings of trees, buildings, farm implements, tankards, dogs, horses, pheasants, etc., totally charming. Inside, the University League Book Club has pasted in two pages, one a list of dates and who is to receive the book when, the other with the rules for passing it along until the end of the year (1937), when members can purchase the books "for one-quarter of their price." There is no mention of any kind of book discussion. At the back of the book is the list of 42 titles for the year, including Gone with the Wind, Moscow Skies, Eyeless in Gaza, Live Alone and Like it, School Days with Kipling, Drums along the Mohawk and Man from the Morlands. The ULBC appears to have been associated with Princeton. I'd love to know more about it.
