As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning

The author of `Cider with Rosie` brings us an autobiographical tale that takes him away from home to new unfamiliar places.”The stooping figure of my mother, waist-deep in the grass and caught there like a piece of sheep`s wool, was the last I saw of my country home as I left it to discover the world.”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.
