Laurie Lee's matchless memories of his childhood, told in glittering prose and with a wonderfully wicked sense of comedy, hae made Cider with Rosie one of the most famous of all autobiographies.
The author was born just before the end of WWI, almost the youngest in a crowded but fatherless family, and grew up in a tiny Cotswold village in the early 1920's. His pages teem with unforgettable scenes and characters.
