My Review (5 stars out of 5)
(Audiobook)
Leaving his home in a Cotswolds village, Laurie Lee walked to London, earning a living as a labourer and busking in the streets with his violin. Yearning to travel, he set out for Spain, travelling from the northern to the southern coast…
I never got around to reading Laurie Lee’s books when everyone else of my generation was reading them. Typically, I started with the second of his autobiographical trilogy, the first being the acclaimed Cider with Rosie. I’d also thought this one concerned the Spanish Civil War, but it turns out that period is covered in the last of the trilogy, A Moment of War. Anyway, what impressed me most about this book is the sheer beauty of his writing. While nothing terribly exciting happens during his travels, his descriptions of the countryside, the people, and the atmosphere are nothing less than stunning. The audiobook is narrated by the author.
Beautifully written, crammed with imagery and atmosphere.

Good plan, Robbie. I think it’ll make more sense that way, though it’s still a great story.

This sounds right up my street. I’ll look for it on Amazon.
