The Illustrated Cider with Rosie

Laurie Lee's matchless memories of his childhood, told in glittering prose and with a wonderfully wicked sense of comedy, have made Cider with Rosie one of the most famous of all autobiographies. Since is was first published twenty-five years ago more than two million copies have been sold throughout the world, it has been filmed, translated into numerous languages, and studied in schools. Yet the book remains as powerfully evocative as ever, and as deeply moving to any reader who comes to it for the first time.
