Laurie Lee's lyrical autobiography of his childhood in a secluded Cotswold valley holds a special place in English literature. Highly evocative and nostalgic, it captures a now vanished rural world. The harsher side was all part of growing up. As was Rosie. And after his encounter with her under the haywain, Laurie Lee was ' never the same again.' Running time: 2 hours and 45 minutes.
