My Early Life

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My Early Life: A Roving Commission is a 1930 book by Winston Churchill. It is a compilation of two of his earlier autobiographical works, London to Ladysmith via Pretoria (1900) and Ian Hamilton's March (1900).

The book includes an observation made upon the death of his nanny. He wrote "She had been my dearest and most intimate friend during the whole of the twenty years I had lived."[1]

The film Young Winston was based on this title.
