After I had run away from school, no one knew what to do with me. after his mother's death. There he suffered, and soon absconded, forcing his father to bring him back to Shanghai where further travels and adventures ensued. Maiden Voyage (1943) is Welch's semi-novelistic, beautifully observed account of these formative experiences. as Dylan Thomas, Edith Sitwell and Christopher Fry, all of whom were standing out against the drabness of their times. Alan Bennett
