- Summary:
- A gripping memoir of war. In December 1937, young Laurie Lee crossed the Pyrenees into Spain as a wartime volunteer from England, and in so doing walked straight into a Loyalist prison and the bitter conflict of the Spanish Civil War. Decades later, as a writer, Laurie Lee returned to the scene of his coming of age and portrays the death of a young man's idealism with sincerity and a total lack of pretense.
