Virginia Woolfe spent her summers in a seaside village in Cornwall, England as a child. She describes the experience in her memoirs and goes into great detail. Virginia enjoyed fishing immensely with her father and brother until her father decided he didn’t want to go anymore. Even though she decided that as well, she still looks back on that time very fondly. Virginia Woofle used lovely language to convey the lasting significance of these moments from her past in this excerpt from her memoir, Moments of Being.
