Description

Early Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

Originally published in the same year 1959 by the Hogarth Press. This is an early Book Club edition. 

Cider with Rosie is the first in a trilogy of three, followed by As I Walked Out One Summer Morning and A Moment of War. This novel is an account of Lee's childhood in the village of Slad, Gloucestershire. The traditional life in a village during the period soon after the First World War, a traditional living that has disappeared in time and recollected in the author's mind many years later. Rosie was later identified as Lee's distant cousin Rosalind Buckland.
