One of the best books I have ever readSeptember 2, 2005 Mrs. L. E. Jones(UK) 15 out of 16 found this review helpful
This collection of Laurie Lee's autobiographical works is absolutely fantastic. In "Cider With Rosie", the poetry of Lee's prose evocatively captures his early life in a Cotswold village in the years following World War 1. I was completely riveted to the subsequent story of his travels through Spain during the 1930's in the build up to the Civil War. In this day and age, to contemplate walking across Spain and through the Sierras with only a violin and a few dried biscuits is just unbelievable. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in travelling.

I have always had an interest in Spain and the second and thirds books of the trilogy captivated me. It gives a view of Spain that lasted until the end of the Franco regime. Laurie Lee's discriptive powers fill the mind with vivid pictures of a life none of us in the modern day world will ever experience.
