Memory and history have been Penelope Lively's terrain in fiction throughout a career that has spanned five decades. Here, she offers a glimpse into her influences and formative years, as well as a view of what life looks like from the vantage point of eighty years.Lively traces the arc of her own life, from early childhood in Cairo to boarding school in England to the sweeping social changes of Britain's twentieth century.She reflects on her early love of archaeology, the fragments of the ancients that have accompanied her journey - including a sherd of Egyptian ceramic depicting dancing fish and ammonites found years ago on a Dorset beach. She also takes an intimate look back at a life devoted to books and writes insightfully about ageing. 'Dancing Fish and Ammonites' is an elegant, moving and deeply enjoyable set of reflections from one of our most beloved writers.
