LAURIE LEE (1914-1997) Born in nearby Stroud, Laurie Lee moved with his family to the village of Slad when he was just three, and next walked out early one summer’s morning when he was nineteen, with a hazel stick in his hand and a violin wrapped in a blanket under his arm. Moreover, we pride ourselves on being able to track down and obtain any book our customers want. Cider With Rosie (1959) has sold over six million copies worldwide, and was followed by two other volumes of autobiography. In 1950 he married Catherine Polge and they had one daughter. At the age of nineteen he walked to London and then travelled on foot through Spain, as described in his book As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning. He was educated at Slad village school and Stroud Central School. Laurie Lee was born in Gloucestershire, in 1914. 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. The classic evocative tale of an idyllic childhood in the English countrysideĬider 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.
