- Cider with Rosie - Play version
This is a drama version of the well loved story based on the life of Laurie Lee. A wonderful glimpse into the past when children played outside in fields all summer long :0)
Rating: - Startling imagery, beautiful prose.
A classic that really needs to be read by all who value quality writing.
Rating: - Cider with Rosie
No wonder Laurie Lee's autobiography received such acclaim. The story Begin's at the end of the 1st world war and is beautifully written. A story of growing up in a isolated country village in the West country. The descriptions of places, events and characters are vivid and so real it's as if your there.I missed so many classics such as this one in my youth now I'm enjoying them immensely. I truly recommend Cider with Rosie it's pages turn easily and the author grows with each chapter.
Rating: - carved in stone
Somewhere in the Universe the words of this book are carved in stone, alongside Shakespeare's sonnets. It is shamelessly nostalgic and even heart-breaking. Also when Laurie is funny, he's very funny. I was brought up in Stroud and lots of us knew him. He was the only famous person we'd ever produced. Incidentally the 1st BBC TV adaptation in about the 70s starring an actress called somebody Leech I think, contained my parents, though they're difficult to spot, and indeed half the district, so it seems. I have several videos of it. I don't know if it's available on DVD though. It has a sad, sad ending
Those of you who love this book like I do, might like to try Twenty Years A-Growing (Oxford Paperbacks) by Maurice O'Sullivan, if you haven't already. Another coming of age book, it has also become a part of me, always available in the recesses of my mind
