The essence of rural England in the early twentieth century presented from the uniquely personal perspective of one of England's most evocative wordsmiths; Beautifully illustrated with 100 specially commissioned photographs; A follow-up volume to the photographic tour of Yorkshire, The World of the Brontes; Laurie Lee, born 1914 in Stroud, Gloucestershire, spent his formative years in the village of Slad and the enclosing Cotswold valley - as he described it, 'greener and more decently lush than is decent to the general herbaceous smugness of the English countryside'. This celebration of that unique locality is also an opportunity to view the Costwolds of the interwar years, captured in the words of Lee, renowned author of the classic book Cider with Rosie. Laurie Lee Country views the valley, despite profound changes there, as it might have been seen by a boy between the wars. The commentary is mostly Lee's own, from his prose and poetry. Innately attuned to the seasons, Laurie Lee spent the spring of his own life in Slad until he walked out with his fiddle one midsummer morning. In the late autumn of his life he came back. This book has been fully authorized by the estate of Laur Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
