A full-cast dramatisation starring Tim McInnerney and Niamh Cusack
Laurie Lee's autobiographical tale of his childhood in a secluded Cotswold valley has become a modern classic, bringing to life the adventures that he enjoyed during that idyllic period.
His world was one of silence . . . of hard work and necessary patience . . . of white roads, rutted by hooves and cartwheels, innocent of oil and petrol. From his earliest baffling days in the village school, through to the memorable encounter with Rosie under the haywain (after which he was never the same again) all the lyricism of Laurie Lee's work is beautifully portrayed in this audio.
Part one of the autobiographical trilogy, followed by 'As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning' and 'A Moment Of War'.
