Village Christmas And Other Notes on the English Year by Laurie Lee
5.0
I grew up in the Cotswolds so this was already going to be an evocative read for me.
I also grew up with "cider with Rosie" and it's a book I return to from time to time and love.
Lee has a beautiful lyrical writing style - he perfectly conjures up the Christmases & winters of my childhood but it's also a brilliant portrait of a stolen and often now-forgotten way of life.
I will keep this book on by bedside table year round to dip into as the seasons change for the perfect escapism.
