Synopsis
Laurie Lee, author of the beloved classic Cider with Rosie, was born in Gloucestershire in 1914. He spent his formative years in the village of Slad and the enclosing Cotswold valley as he described it, greener and more decently lush than is decent to the general herbaceous smugness of the English countryside.” Drawing from Lee’s poetry and prose, this photo-laden homage to that verdant landscape offers us a uniquely personal view of the Cotswolds between the wars. Paul Barker and James Birdsall previously collaborated on The World of the Brontės.

The essence of rural England in the early twentieth century presented from the uniquely personal perspective of one of England's most evocative wordsmiths; Beautifully illustrated with 100 specially commissioned photographs; A follow-up volume to the photographic tour of Yorkshire, The World of the Brontes; Laurie Lee, born 1914 in Stroud, Gloucestershire, spent his formative years in the village of Slad and the enclosing Cotswold valley - as he described it, 'greener and more decently lush than is decent to the general herbaceous smugness of the English countryside'. This celebration of that unique locality is also an opportunity to view the Costwolds of the interwar years, captured in the words of Lee, renowned author of the classic book Cider with Rosie. Laurie Lee Country views the valley, despite profound changes there, as it might have been seen by a boy between the wars. The commentary is mostly Lee's own, from his prose and poetry.

This book has been fully authorized by the estate of Laurie Lee and contains liberal quotations from his autobiographical works. Sensitively introduced by James Birdsall and fully illustrated with the sublime photographs of Paul Barker, this is a book that will delight the many admirers of Laurie Lee's landscape.
