In ...

I was the middle child of three, but there was a gap of five years on either side, and I barely saw my father before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely and I soon developed disagreeable mannerisms which made me unpopular throughout my schooldays. I had the lonely child’s habit of making up stories and holding conversation with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start of my literary ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated and undervalued. ...
