Cider with Rosie

By: Laurie Lee

Narrated by: Laurie Lee

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.

Wonderful Book

A beautiful and gripping tale. And what a treat to hear it in the author's voice.

The writing is superb!

Reading Laurie Lee's book was a magical journey into a past before my time. And having the author read it - made it that much more special. A truly remarkable book.

Nostalgic

This book was a favorite of a dear loved one who has passed away. The poetic imagery of life in post World War 11 England is magical. It’s a young boy’s perfect description of how he views his younger years and his surroundings. It’s a book I’ll read over and over again.

Being There

I joined Laurie Lee in his time and place and became part of his family. Only the best of storytellers can make this happen - and so he did.

Terrific

A poem in prose, A story almost sung, A history of a time and place now gone; Ficas good as "A child s Christmas in Wales"__orbetter
