Family Portrait
|
|
Selections from the journals and writings of five members
of the Phillips family. Their words portray aspects each of
them found important in their lives in England, from 1788 to
1998.
The earliest is Henry Phillips who noted down events in his
family life, as well as writing verses and reflections based
mainly on biblical texts.
Next in the anthology, his great grandson Richard gives a
glimpse of his world, at a time when local government was
taking shape, set against a Victorian background of pride in
the British Empire.
He is followed by his son Edgar, who, in a short piece of
prose takes the reader to Ireland. The fourth contributor is
Richard's grandson Noel, describing his experiences as a
schoolboy during World War II. His son Mark, finally, tells
a dramatic story of how a road accident transformed his
life.
