The Edge of Day: a boyhood in the West of England

Lee, Laurie (illus. John Ward)

£35.00

The American edition of Laurie Lee’s much loved memoir, Cider with Rosie. 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.
