Bibliography: Incluye índice (pp. 281-288)Summary: "Kenneth Clark vividly remembers the episodes of his youth and describes them in a succinct and deceptively easy-going style laced with wit and irony. Another Part of the Wood is a book of character study, with portraits of his parents, Maurice Bowra, C. F. Bell, Janet Ross, Logan Pearsall Smith, Bernard Berenson and other members of the art world. It contains a number of almost incredible stories -which he guarantees are true. There is much about his early years that will surprise those who only know Kenneth Clark as a brilliant interpreter of art with an impressive record of public service that has included serving as Keeper of Fine Arts at the Ashmolean Library, surveyor of the King's Pictures, chairman of the Arts Council and the I.T.A., Trustee of the British Museum, the National Art-Collection Fund and the National Theater. This autobiography reveals an improbable background for an aesthetic who, in addition to his other achievements, has mastered the use of words and the technique of television." (solapas)
