Description
The publication in 1984 of the illustrated edition of Laurie Lee's autobiographical masterpiece Cider with Rosie attracted tens of thousands of new readers to enter the haunting private world of his English country childhood. As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning, its sequel, describes how in 1934 at the age of nineteen he left home and walked to London, and then travelled on foot through Spain, where he was trapped by the outbreak of the Civil War. In these pages he recaptures with stunning accuracy the sensations and experiences of his younger self, and the beauty and violence of Spain in those days.
The book is quintessentially the story of youth and experiment, the turning away from home and security, the facing of the unknown; and in this beautifully illustrated edition it will appeal to a whole new generation of readers for whom these themes are timeless.
