Miss Ethel Smyth is an English musician and composer. In this book of memories she writes of her childhood and girlhood in a typical Victorian household and of her musical life in Germany, more particularly in Leipsig where she went as a student in 1877. The story of her friendship with Elisabeth von Herzogenberg adds a dramatic element to the book.
