Laurie Lee

"Three years old and wrapped in a Union Jack to protect him from the sun, Laurie Lee arrived in the village of Slad in the final summer of the First World War. The cottage his mother had rented for three and sixpence a week had neither running water nor electricity, but it was surrounded by a lovely half-acre garden and, most importantly, it was big enough for the seven children in her care. It was here, in a verdant valley tucked into the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, that Laurie Lee learned to look at life with a painter{u2019}s eye and a poet{u2019}s heart{u2014}qualities of vision that, decades later, would make him one of England{u2019}s most cherished authors. The first installment in an autobiographical trilogy, it is also a heartfelt and lyrical ode to England, and to a way of life that may belong to the past, but will never be forgotten.
