Powys' "Autobiography", covering his first 60 years, is considered one of his most important works. In the Introduction to the London, Macdonald, 1967 edition of the book, J. B. Priestley said that even if Powys had not written a single novel "this one book alone would have proved him to be a writer of genius." [ p. xi).
