Cider with Rosie English History Mona is a young girlThe classic evocative tale of an idyllic childhood in the English countryside. Cider with Rosie is a wonderfully vivid memoir of childhood in a remote Cotswold village, a village before electricity or cars, a timeless place on the verge of change. Growing up amongst the fields and woods and characters of the place, Laurie Lee depicts a world that is both immediate and real and belongs to a now distant past.
