Cider with Rosie: A boyhood in the west of England (Time reading program special edition) - Softcover

Cider with Rosie is about Laurie Lee's boyhood in a small village in Gloucestershire, England in the late teens and early twenties of this century. It is not only the shared nostalgia most of us have for our early years that gives this book it's poignancy, but the quality of the writing itself. It has been described as a 'prose poem that flashes and winks', and certainly most people I know who've read it have been moved and delighted by the writing. If you liked 'Dandelion Wine' by Ray Bradbury then try this, and see what you've been missing.
