description: Described by H. E. Bates as a prose poem that "flashes back and winks like a prism," this loving and intimate record of childhood and growing up in a remote Cotswold village is a testament to a vanished world. Laurie Lee draws a picture of an England of silence. Life was hard, but with all that can happen to a family of three sisters and four brothers, it was also interesting and often very funny.
