Jeremy at Crale

Jeremy at Crale is the third coming of age story published by Sir Hugh Walpole. Published in 1927 to critical acclaim across the world, it quickly became a bestseller.


Jeremy was published in 1919 and is the first book of the Jeremy trilogy - Jeremy and Hamlet (1923) and Jeremy at Crale (1927). Jeremy Cole, the protagonist of the trilogy, is followed from age eight to fifteen. We follow his hopes and fears, his thoughts, and delights with vivid descriptions and scenes. Hamlet in the second novel is Jeremy’s trusty best friend and sidekick, his dog. The portrayal of young Jeremy is authentic, engaging, and incredibly realistic glimpse of an English boyhood.
