Sobre este artículo
London: Hogarth Press, 1959. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. First UK Edition. A near fine copy in a VG D/W with just a touch of rubbing at the spine tips and a short closed tear with associated creasing at the top left hand corner of the front panel. This copy is bound in the variant blue cloth with gilt lettering to the spine. In my experience copies bound in blue, as opposed to the customary green, cloth are significantly rarer. Complete with the original, pink, wrap-around band: Book Society Choice: Cider with Rosie by Laurie Lee which is complete but slightly frayed to the spine portion. Copies of this book with the wrap-around band are uncommon.
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.
