Laurie Lee the Well-Loved Stranger

The authorized biography of Laurie Lee, author of CIDER WITH ROSIE. Publicly Lee fostered the image of a gregarious man who had come from rural poverty to conquer the book world. In private he was more troubled, and led an unusually Bohemian life. With access to private diaries and journals, Valerie Grove tells the story of his many loves, and tackles the controversial question of his role in the Spanish war.
