What is cider with Rosie?

Cider with Rosie is a 1959 memoir by Laurie Lee, first published in the UK by Hogarth Press. The book is set in the Cotswold village of Slad, Gloucestershire, in the years before World War II, and tells the story of Lee's childhood there.

The book is written in a lyrical and evocative style, and Lee brings to life the sights and sounds of the English countryside. He describes the lives of the villagers, their customs and traditions, and their relationships with each other. At the same time, Lee also explores the themes of childhood, loss, and the search for meaning in life.

Cider with Rosie was a critical and commercial success, and it has become a classic of English literature. It has been translated into more than 20 languages, and it has been adapted for film, television, and radio.
