Reseña del editor:

'I had ridden wrapped up in a Union Jack to protect me from the sun, and when I rolled out of it, and stood piping loud among the buzzing jungle of that summer bank, then, I feel, was I born' CIDER WITH ROSIE, Laurie Lee's best-selling autobiography, immortalised an era and a place. In it he recalls the glories of a country boyhood in the beautiful Slad valley in Gloucestershire. His was a slow, mellow England, one 'of silence ... of white roads, rutted by hooves and cartwheels, innocent ofoil and petrol'. It is an unforgettable elegy to a world that has mostly vanished.

Biografía del autor:

Born in Slad, Gloucestershire, Laurie Lee was educated at the village school and worked as a scriptwriter for documentary films during the 1940s. He wrote several books of poetry and his books include AS I WALKED OUT ONE MIDSUMMER MORNING (1969), and I CAN'T STAY LONG (1975) are widely acclaimed for their evocation of a rural childhood and of life in the many countries he had visited. His last book, A MOMENT OF WAR (1991), recalls his experiences during the Spanish Civil War.
