The essential Laurie Lee, a collection of occasional writings full of his unique vision and irresistible charm?? All of the wit and wisdom and poetry that made Laurie Lee one of the most celebrated English writers of the twentieth century can be found in this?compilation?of ?first loves and obsessions.? In Part One, Lee revisits his idyllic boyhood in the Cotswolds village made famous by his bestselling autobiography,?Cider with Rosie. In Part Two, he turns his attention to an earnest consideration of abstract concepts such as the power of charm, the pleasures of appetite, and the meaning of?paradise. And in the final and longest section, the author of the acclaimed Spanish travelogues?As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning?and?A Rose for Winter?tells the stories of his many other journeys?from sun-dappled Tuscany to melancholy Warsaw to the enchanting and exotic Sugar Islands of the Caribbean.
