A moving portrait of the landscape that shaped the life of Laurie
Lee, the beloved author of Cider With Rosie 'Before I left the
valley I thought everywhere was like this. Then I went away for 40
years and when I came back I realized that nowhere was like this.'
Laurie Lee walked out of his childhood village one summer morning
to travel the world, but he was always drawn back to his beloved
Slad Valley, eventually returning to make it his home. In this
portrait of his Cotswold home, Laurie Lee guides us through its
landscapes, and shares memories of his village youth - from his
favourite pub to winter skating on the pond, the church through the
seasons, local legends, learning the violin and playing jazz
records in the privy on a wind-up gramophone. Filled with wry
humour and a love of place, Down in the Valley is a writer's
tribute to the landscape that shaped him, and where he found peace.
