The Bloomsbury circle has long preoccupied writers, critics, and the general public alike. For many years its focal point was Charleston Farmhouse in Sussex, home to Vanessa and Clive Bell and Duncan Grant. A C???zanne in the Hedge brings together thirty firsthand reminiscences of the Charleston, vividly and amusingly evoking its creativity--and eccentricity.

The finale is a childhood spoof written by Virginia Woolf entitled "A Terrible Tragedy in a Duckpond."
