A childhood remembered through village life and changing seasons
Very Good Condition - Ex-library with rubbed, marked boards, withdrawn stamp and handwritten name. Interior pages have large brown stains. Published 1984.
Laurie Lee recalls growing up in a Gloucestershire village in the years after the First World War, capturing a childhood shaped by family, landscape, and the rhythms of rural life. His memories move between the warmth and disorder of home, school experiences, village personalities, and the awakening perceptions of a young boy. The world he describes is intimate and vivid, yet already vulnerable to the changes that will alter its familiar patterns. This illustrated edition adds a visual dimension to Lee’s lyrical memoir. Cider with Rosie combines humor, affection, and sensory detail in a portrait of childhood and a community remembered at the edge of a disappearing way of life.
