Özet

Brought to you by Penguin.

As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning is the moving follow-up to Laurie Lee's acclaimed Cider with Rosie

Abandoning the Cotswolds village that raised him, the young Laurie Lee walks to London. There he makes a living labouring and playing the violin. But, deciding to travel further a field and knowing only the Spanish phrase for 'Will you please give me a glass of water?', he heads for Spain. With just a blanket to sleep under and his trusty violin, he spends a year crossing Spain, from Vigo in the north to the southern coast. Only the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War puts an end to his extraordinary peregrinations . . .

'He writes like an angel and conveys the pride and vitality of the humblest Spanish life with unfailing sharpness, zest and humour' Sunday Times

'There's a formidable, instant charm in the writing that genuinely makes it difficult to put the book down' New Statesman

'A beautiful piece of writing' Observer

This has been my favourite book since I first read it at 15 years of age. To now be able to listen to it being read by the wonderful Laurie Lee is a real joy! Now on to A moment of war.

An absolute wonder!

Beautifully told and written I’ve read it several times over 50 years and now listened to the audible version by the author who was mature at the time and read from splendid memories of a Young man on a mysterious adventure full of the throes of youth and the unknown entering a new world and culture of early thirties Spain. Well worth a read or a listen.

Historical classic

Heavily descriptive, I love walking and travel stories. Laurie Lees narration was a nice touch. His story also reminded me of when I set off aged 19 with a one way flight / ticket

A pleasure to reread it

Leaving his home in a Cotswolds village, Laurie Lee walked to London, earning a living as a labourer and busking in the streets with his violin. Yearning to travel, he set out for Spain, travelling from the northern to the southern coast…

I never got around to reading Laurie Lee’s books when everyone else of my generation was reading them. Typically, I started with the second of his autobiographical trilogy, the first being the acclaimed Cider with Rosie. I’d also thought this one concerned the Spanish Civil War, but it turns out that period is covered in the last of the trilogy, A Moment of War. Anyway, what impressed me most about this book is the sheer beauty of his writing. While nothing terribly exciting happens during his travels, his descriptions of the countryside, the people, and the atmosphere are nothing less than stunning. The audiobook is narrated by the author.

Beautifully written, crammed with imagery and atmosphere.
