'I had ridden wrapped up in a Union Jack to protect me from the sun, and when I rolled out of it, and stood piping loud among the buzzing jungle of that summer bank, then, I feel, was I born' CIDER WITH ROSIE, Laurie Lee's best-selling autobiography, immortalised an era and a place. In it he recalls the glories of a country boyhood in the beautiful Slad valley in Gloucestershire. His was a slow, mellow England, one 'of silence ... of white roads, rutted by hooves and cartwheels, innocent ofoil and petrol'. It is an unforgettable elegy to a world that has mostly vanished.
