What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition, first impression. With the issue point of 'a fire at the piano-works almost every year' on page 272. This was removed from later impressions as the result of a libel. Illustrated throughout. The autobiographical work is based on the author's experiences growing up in the small village of Slad, Gloucestershire. 'Cider with Rosie' was the first of a trilogy, following by 'As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning' and 'A Moment of War'. Written by English novelist Laurie Lee, who is best known for this popular work. Illustrated by English portrait artist and illustrator, John Stanton Ward.
