Description
Brought to you by Penguin.
As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning is the moving follow-up to Laurie Lee's acclaimed Cider with Rosie.
Abandoning the Cotswolds village that raised him, the young Laurie Lee walks to London. There he makes a living labouring and playing the violin. But, deciding to travel further a field and knowing only the Spanish phrase for 'Will you please give me a glass of water?', he heads for Spain. With just a blanket to sleep under and his trusty violin, he spends a year crossing Spain, from Vigo in the north to the southern coast. Only the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War puts an end to his extraordinary peregrinations....
Ce que les critiques en disent
"He writes like an angel and conveys the pride and vitality of the humblest Spanish life with unfailing sharpness, zest and humour." (Sunday Times)
"There's a formidable, instant charm in the writing that genuinely makes it difficult to put the book down." (New Statesman)
"A beautiful piece of writing." (Observer)
