The Crichel Boys: Scenes from England's Last Literary Salon Fenwick Simon
In 1945, Eddy Sackville-West, Desmond Shawe-Taylor and Eardley Knollys - writers for the New Statesman and a National Trust administrator - purchased Long Crichel House, an old rectory with no electricity and an inadequate water supply. Sackville-West, Shawe-Taylor and Knollys - later joined by the literary critic Raymond Mortimer - became members of one another's surrogate families and their companionship became a stimulus for writing, for them and their guests. In this improbable place, the last English literary salon began.Quieter and less formal than the famed London literary salons, Long Crichel became an idiosyncratic experiment in communal living.
Forster, Cecil Beaton, Vita Sackville-West and Long Crichel's visitors' book reveals a Who's Who of the arts in post-war Britain - Nancy Mitford, Benjamin Britten, Laurie Lee, Cyril Connolly, Somerset Maugham, E.M.
