I was lucky to have known them when I did, before darkness began to fall from the air.'\n\nIn this much-loved volume, a mature Laurie Lee returns to the Gloucestershire childhood familiar to readers of Cider with Rosie, a world lost even at the time of writing to the march of twentieth-century technology. Lee also explores the post-war travels that took him to, amongst others, the Netherlands, Tuscany, Mexico and the West Indies.  With pieces dating from the 1940s and 50s, Lee captures a world now for ever changed by war and mass tourism, 'when to be a traveller was not yet to be just a labelled unit'.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49001254682843,"sku":"9780241237175-RETAIL","price":28.04,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/0f81704b-9cf3-4403-aea3-3381ebc64802.jpg?v=1784745012","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780241237175-retail-i-cant-stay-long","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
