A Boy at the Hogarth Press is Richard Kennedy’s affectionate memoir of his time working at the Hogarth Press as a teenager. Beginning work there at sixteen, Kennedy offers a personal glimpse into the everyday world of the Bloomsbury Group, including Leonard and Virginia Woolf at work. Part literary memoir and part publishing history, this short book is a charming record of one of the most influential small presses of the twentieth century.
