Sir, - On page 24 of her just published memoir, I was very struck by the truth of Nuala O'Faolain's eloquent observation on childhood: "No one sees a child watching." Our own remembered experience and perspective as children, gazing up into an unsuspecting adult world, will instantly affirm the accuracy of this moving insight. - Yours, etc.,
