"A beloved English classic that celebrates a bygone world and the innocence and wonder of childhood-more than six million copies sold worldwide. Laurie Lee was born in 1914 in Gloucestershire, then a remote corner of England. One of eight children, he was brought up by his capable mother: "I was perfectly content . . . and tumbled through the hand-to-mouth days, patched or dressed-up, scolded, admired, swept off my feet in sudden passions of kisses, or dumped forgotten among the unwashed pots."
