Synopsis

"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.

Media Reviews
Utterly captivating * Four Shires *
A classic of English literature * Good Book Guide *
[Laurie Lee] froze a moment in time for us. You don't forget the language and he is wonderful at detail -- Michael Morpurgo * Daily Express *
Evocative memoir. * RTE Guide *
It has got a marvellous morning freshness. There is hardly a sentence in it that does not set the sense of touch and smell, as well as sight and hearing, tingling * Daily Mail *
