As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning is the moving follow-up to
Laurie Lee's acclaimed Cider with Rosie Abandoning the Cotswolds
village that raised him, the young Laurie Lee walks to London.
There he makes a living labouring and playing the violin. But,
deciding to travel further a field and knowing only the Spanish
phrase for 'Will you please give me a glass of water?', he heads
for Spain. With just a blanket to sleep under and his trusty
violin, he spends a year crossing Spain, from Vigo in the north to
the southern coast. Only the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War puts
an end to his extraordinary peregrinations . . . 'He writes like an
angel and conveys the pride and vitality of the humblest Spanish
life with unfailing sharpness, zest and humour' Sunday Times
'There's a formidable, instant charm in the writing that genuinely
makes it difficult to put the book down' New Statesman 'A beautiful
piece of writing' Observer
