Sobre este artículo
London: The Hogarth Press, (1959). First edition, first printing. This is a very good (or better) copy. The dust wrapper, carrying the iconic John Ward illustrations, has some closed tears to the corners and spine tips. It has not been price clipped and shows the original 18s price. There is light abrasion to the spine edges and some closed tears to the rear panel. The boards, heavy in the publisher's green cloth, are bright and free from notable marks. The text blocks are absolutely pristine. This copy is free from inscriptions and is in very good (or better) condition.
The first title in the author's iconic autobiographical trilogy.
Sinopsis
Laurie Lee was born in Stroud, Gloucestershire, in 1914, and was educated at Slad village school and Stroud Central School. In his teens Lee had already began to write poems. He had met two sisters who encouraged him in his writing aspirations. At the age of nineteen he walked to London and then travelled on foot through Spain, where he was trapped by the outbreak of the Civil War. He later returned by crossing the Pyrenees, as described in his book As I Walked Out one Midsummer Morning . During World War II he made documentary films for the General Post Office film unit (1939-40), and the Crown Film Unit (1941-43). From 1944 to 1946 he worked as an editor at the Ministry of Information Publications. In 1950 he married Catherine Polge and they had one daughter. He died in May 1997.
