A tender, balanced and moving account of the composer's friendships with children and their inspiration on his life and work.

Publisher's description:

One of the hallmarks of Benjamin Britten's music is his use of boys' voices. Interweaving discussion of the music he wrote for and about children with interviews with the boys whom Britten befriended, this book deals with the subject of the composer's obsessional, yet strangely innocent relationships with adolescent boys.
