About This Item
The Folio Society, 2003. Very good or better condition. First Folio Society Edition, no slip case. This has been acquired from a collector and is part of a series of special Folio Society publications. They are beautifully bound and presented. Most appear not to have been read and are as new. Unfortunately, most volumes do not have the issued slip cover or case. They would still make a great acquistion for a collector of popular and interesting books in modern English literature.
Synopsis
Laurie Lee was born in Stroud, Gloucestershire, in 1914, and was educated at Slad village school and Stroud Central School. In his teens Lee had already began to write poems. He had met two sisters who encouraged him in his writing aspirations. At the age of nineteen he walked to London and then travelled on foot through Spain, where he was trapped by the outbreak of the Civil War. He later returned by crossing the Pyrenees, as described in his book As I Walked Out one Midsummer Morning . During World War II he made documentary films for the General Post Office film unit (1939-40), and the Crown Film Unit (1941-43). From 1944 to 1946 he worked as an editor at the Ministry of Information Publications. In 1950 he married Catherine Polge and they had one daughter. He died in May 1997.
