The Bloomsbury circle has long preoccupied writers, critics, and the general public alike.

For many years its focal point was Charleston Farmhouse in Sussex, home to Vanessa and Clive Bell and Duncan Grant. "A Cezanne in the Hedge" brings together thirty firsthand reminiscences of the Charleston, vividly and amusingly evoking its creativity and eccentricity.

Childhood memories from Quentin Bell, Angelica Garnett, and Nigel Nicholson are interspersed with appraisals of the work of Bloomsbury members such as Roger Fry, Maynard Keynes, and Virginia Woolf and of their contribution to twentieth-century British art and thought.

The finale is a childhood spoof written by Virginia Woolf entitled "A Terrible Tragedy in a Duckpond.""
