Description
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

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
'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
'One of the great writers of the twentieth century' Independent
'He had a nightingale inside him, a capacity for sensuous, lyrical precision' Guardian
'A
wonderfully vivid memoir of childhood in a remote Cotswold village... I
defy anyone to read this and not long for a simpler life, and the
carol-singing chapter always gets me in the festive mood. Totally
charming' Brighton and Hove Independent
