Description

Experience the timeless journey of Laurie Lee in this moving follow-up to the acclaimed Cider with Rosie. Leaving the Cotswolds village that raised him, the young author walks to London, where he supports himself through hard labor and by playing his violin. Seeking new horizons, he travels to Spain armed with nothing but a blanket for shelter and a single Spanish phrase: 'Will you please give me a glass of water?' This memoir chronicles a year of wandering across Spain, from the northern coast of Vigo to the southern shores. Lee's vivid storytelling captures the beauty of the landscape, the warmth of strangers, and the simple joys of a life lived on the road. The narrative is abruptly halted by the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, adding a layer of historical gravity to his personal adventure. Published by Penguin Classics, this edition preserves the integrity of Lee's original voice while offering a durable reading experience. With 193 pages of compelling prose, it stands as a testament to the human spirit and the transformative power of travel. Ideal for readers who appreciate biography, travel literature, and the works of renowned novelists, this book invites you to step into a world of discovery and reflection. Perfect for collectors of modern classics or anyone seeking an inspiring story of youth and exploration.
