The evocative tale of an idyllic childhood in the English countryside.

The classic evocative tale of an idyllic childhood in the English countryside

Cider with Rosie is a wonderfully vivid memoir of childhood in a remote Cotswold village, a village before electricity or cars, a timeless place on the verge of change. Growing up amongst the fields and woods and characters of the place, Laurie Lee depicts a world that is both immediate and real and belongs to a now-distant past.

'Remains as fresh and full of joy and gratitude for youth and its sensations as when it first appeared. It sings in the memory' Sunday Times

but also to an England that has vanished."
-- JB Priestly
" Remains as fresh and full of joy and gratitude for youth and its sensations as when it first appeared.
It sings in the memory"
-- "Sunday Times"
" It has got... a marvellous morning freshness... There is hardly a sentence in it that does not set the sense of touch and smell, as well as sight and hearing, tingling"
-- "Daily Mail"
" He had a nightingale inside him, a capacity for sensuous, lyrical precision"
-- "Guardian"
" Lee was a poet whose deft passage into prose carried with it much of the rhythm and accuracy of the poet's language"
