Description
Laurie Lee's autobiographical trilogy, Red Sky at Sunrise, is a poignant and evocative account of his early life in the Cotswold valley. The trilogy begins with Lee's earliest memories, set against the stunning backdrop of a steep valley, where he spent the first three years of his life.
As Lee recounts, his world was one of simplicity and wonder, until the age of 19, when he left home to explore the world beyond. He walked to London, and then down the length of Spain, experiencing a sense of freedom and time that he had never known before. However, this carefree existence was shattered by the outbreak of the Civil War, which marked a turning point in Lee's life.
This beautifully written trilogy is a testament to Lee's unique voice and perspective, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and the experiences that shaped him into the person he became.
