The Life and Loves of Laurie Lee

Description

Laurie Lee was a towering figure in twentieth century British literature, seeming to bridge a gap between the Victorian and the post-war experience; the pastoral and the urbane. Millions of readers read and loved the lyrical account of his Gloucestershire boyhood, immortalised in Cider with Rosie. They also thrilled to the travels of the young Lee through Spain, playing the fiddle before being caught up in the Spanish Civil War.
