Description

Among eight children, Laurie Lee was created in 1914, in Slad, Gloucestershire, a distant part of England. The big household five kids from his father's first marriage and three from his second one was raised by his able mom, as his father was missing. 'We lived where he'd left us; a relic of his provincial youth; a sprawling cumbersome, countrified brood also incongruous to carry with him; and I, for one, scarcely missed him. I was completely content nowadays of ladies.
