4 Extra Debut. Laurie Lee's writings bringing to life landscape and traditions of England in the last century. Read by Derek Jacobi.
Derek Jacobi reads from a collection of Laurie Lee's writings, including freshly discovered pieces by his daughter Jessy Lee, which return to the landscape and traditions of his rural home in Slad as well as a changing London in the last century.
Laurie Lee's classic memoir Cider With Rosie, his lyrical evocation of an early life in Gloucestershire, launched his writing career in the late 1950s and continues to be one of England's most popular books.
Abridged and produced by Karen Rose
