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

Reseñas de la Crítica

Utterly captivating

A classic of English literature

[Laurie Lee] froze a moment in time for us. You don’t forget the language and he is wonderful at detail (Michael Morpurgo)

Evocative memoir.

So convincing and atmospheric… This magical book will captivate you with its richly painted images

Wonderful Book

A beautiful and gripping tale. And what a treat to hear it in the author's voice.

The writing is superb!

Reading Laurie Lee's book was a magical journey into a past before my time. And having the author read it - made it that much more special. A truly remarkable book.

Nostalgic

This book was a favorite of a dear loved one who has passed away. The poetic imagery of life in post World War 11 England is magical. It’s a young boy’s perfect description of how he views his younger years and his surroundings. It’s a book I’ll read over and over again.

Being There

I joined Laurie Lee in his time and place and became part of his family. Only the best of storytellers can make this happen - and so he did.

Terrific

A poem in prose, A story almost sung, A history of a time and place now gone; Ficas good as "A child s Christmas in Wales"__orbetter
