		Laurie Lee's mother is obviously a very important figure in his life as she features heavily throughout the book.
		Laurie's mother had all her life aspired to be upper class, which I think rather ruined her life as this made her unhappy because she wanted to be someone whom she was not.
		Laurie blames her death on the long separation from his father saying: "it was the coldness of this that killed her".

		Lee arrives in a Spain which is deep in civil war, wanting to "do his bit" for the Republican cause, but finds that he's not welcomed with open arms and the war is far grimmer than he'd expected.
		Laurie Lee's spare, unsentimental memoir of his experience as a volunteer in the Spanish Civil War should take a place, I think, with Orwell's Homage to Catalonia as one of the English language classics of the time.
		Moved by idealistic sympathy for the Republican cause, Lee begins with his winter's journey by foot across the Pyrenees only to be taken as facist infiltrator and thrown into an underground pit-prison with a soon to executed deserter.

		As Lee himself recalled, he was 'still soft at the edges' when he said farewell to his mother (a poignant scene in the opening chapter).

		Cider With Rosie, Laurie Lee's classic childhood memoir, is a nostalgic and sentimental treat with a bittersweet edge.
		The people Lee describes with so much affection are so clearly recognisable that they rise above their specific setting to become universal.
		It might have been better had Duncan Sanders, as the older Lee, tagged in at this point, as despite the humour of the scene and the youth of the participants, it does after all depict an adolescent's introduction into the adult world, recalled from the point of view of maturity.

		And, even less like Lee, we were equipped with a map, detailed walking notes and, for me, a pair of light walking poles, without which I would never have made it before nightfall.
