As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning is the moving follow-up to Laurie Lee''s acclaimed Cider with Rosie

Abandoning the Cotswolds village that raised him, the young Laurie Lee walks to London. There he makes a living labouring and playing the violin. But, deciding to travel further a field and knowing only the Spanish phrase for ''Will you please give me a glass of water?'', he heads for Spain. With just a blanket to sleep under and his trusty violin, he spends a year crossing Spain, from Vigo in the north to the southern coast. Only the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War puts an end to his extraordinary peregrinations . . .

''He writes like an angel and conveys the pride and vitality of the humblest Spanish life with unfailing sharpness, zest and humour'' Sunday Times

''There''s a formidable, instant charm in the writing that genuinely makes it difficult to put the book down'' New Statesman

''A beautiful piece of writing'' Observer

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Laurie Lee

Laurie Lee nasceu em 1914 e passou a infância em Slad, Inglaterra. Aos 20 anos mudou-se para Londres e, mais tarde, partiu numa viagem de quatro anos, a pé, por Espanha e pelo Mediterrâneo, tocando violino para sobreviver. Em Dezembro de 1937, juntou-se às Brigadas Internacionais para combater contra Franco na Guerra Civil de Espanha. Parte dessas experiências é retratada em Quando Parti Numa Tarde de Verão. Antes de se ter dedicado inteiramente à escrita, foi jornalista, guionista e documentarista. A poesia era a sua grande paixão, mas foram sobretudo os seus escritos autobiográficos que lhe trouxeram o êxito internacional. No início dos anos 60, regressou com a mulher a Slad, para viverem na casa da sua infância, e lá permaneceu até à sua morte, em 1997.
