Description
In this uniquely personal book - which is both a thanksgiving and a farewell - Laurie Lee celebrates two special women in his life.Here he tells a true story, and a hauntingly romantic one, describing his wife and daughter in luminous words and photographs that capture the essence of their Pre- Raphaelite beauty. He tells how he first met his wife, Cathy, when she was five and he was twenty-two, how they met again much later, and married, and how they waited twelve years for the birth of Jessy, whose lively loveliness has astonished him ever since.'Laurie Lee is as magical a photographer as he is spinner of elegiac words' - Listener ISBN:9780140072259
