About this product
Product Information
It was 1934 and a young man walked to London from the security of the Cotswolds to make his fortune. He was to live by playing the violin and by labouring on a London building site. Then, knowing one Spanish phrase, he decided to see Spain. For a year he tramped through a country in which the signs of impending civil war were clearly visible. Thirty years later Laurie Lee captured the atmosphere of the Spain he saw with all the freshness and beauty of a young man's vision, creating a lyrical and lucid picture of the beautiful and violent country that was to involve him inextricably.Product Identifiers

Classic Laurie Lee memoirs of Spain before the Spanish civil war.
This is a book I read years ago at school and wanted a copy to keep. I had also read 'Cider With Rosie', by the same author; his writing is beautiful. As I adore Spain and have been there many times, I wanted to re-read 'As I Walked Out...' as the places Lee visited would mean a lot more than me now.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Simply wonderful writing style, very evocative and puts you in the moment.
I was supposed to read it for 'O' Level in 1979 but disliked English Literature at that time - or more so, the grammar school lecturing style. It had a profound effect on me however and I vowed to read it at a later time in my life - and here we are. No regrets whatsoever, a sort of 'real' Paulo Coeho 'Pilgrimage' book, with gusto.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
