Lee L., Cider With Rosie � 1983

The England of Cider with Rosie is one 'of silence...of white roads, rutted by hooves and cartwheels, innocent of oil and petrol'. It is the rich, sensuous world of Lauree Lee's childhood and youth in a remote Cotswold village, a world that has mostly vanished. Described by H. E. Bates as 'a prose poem that flashes and winks like a prism', this loving and intimate record stands as both testament and elegy.

Lee L., As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning � 1981

It was 1934 and a young man walked to London from the security of the Cotswolds to make his fortune. He was to live by playing the violin and by labouring on a London building site. Then, knowing one Spanish phrase, he decided to see Spain. For a year he tramped through a country in which the signs of impending civil war were clearly visible. Thirty years later Laurie Lee captured the atmosphere of the Spain he saw with all the freshness and beauty of a young man's vision, creating a lyrical and lucid picture of the beautiful and violent country that was to involve him

Lee L., I Can t Stay Long � 1978

In it Laurie Lee has collected all of his occasional writing that he cares to preserve, and proves himself to be as much a magician in essay form as he is in his full-length prose works. Some of these pieces come from a world which is now well known and loved by almost everyone: that of the Gloucestershire childhood celebrated in Cider with Rosie. One is tragic and deeply moving, inspired by a visit to Aberfan a year after the disaster there. Many were brought home by Laurie Lee the traveller, from Holland, Tuscany, Mexico, Ireland, the West Indies, a film festival in Cannes. In all of them he displays the gifts that make him one of the best-loved writers now at work in Britain. This is a collection to buy in pairs - one for the bedside, and one to give to a friend.
