'They are memorials to times and countries whose best is probably
past and gone . . . I was lucky to have known them when I did,
before darkness began to fall from the air.' When Laurie Lee first
left his country village aged nineteen, he discovered a delight in
the outside world that remained undiminished throughout his writing
life. This enchanting collection of his 'first loves and
obsessions' brings together pieces including recollections of his
Gloucestershire childhood celebrated in Cider With Rosie;
reflections on life, love and death, such as a moving report from
the tragic Welsh village of Aberfan; and evocative travel writings
on Tuscany, Mexico and the West Indies, amongst others, before they
were transformed by mass tourism. Together they capture a world
that is lost forever. 'One of Britain's finest writers' Daily Mail
'There's a formidable, instant charm in the writing that genuinely
makes it difficult to put the book down' New Statesman
