With the intimacy of a confessional and the lyricism of a poet, Lee chronicles his earliest years in the hamlet of Slad, Gloucestershire — from the bewildering joy of arrival to the bittersweet awakening of adolescence — painting an unforgettable portrait of a tight-knit rural community on the cusp of irreversible change.\n\nLee's prose is nothing short of incandescent: richly sensory, rhythmically precise, and saturated with the sights, smells, and textures of a world that would soon be swept away by modernity. This is autobiography elevated to the level of art, standing alongside the great works of 20th-century British literature as both a social document and a deeply personal reckoning with memory, loss, and the passage of time. Illustrated with drawings by John Ward, this first edition from The Hogarth Press is a treasured artefact — and for those who have never encountered Lee's singular voice, it is an introduction that will not soon be forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269348171995,"sku":"2026100009227-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/96dba2b3-7461-42ef-a325-6fe908296358.png?v=1788999071","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009227-secondhand-cider-with-rosie","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
