Cider With Rosie

Laurie Lee's best-selling classic tale of his childhood in the beautiful Cotswolds comes to the screen in this heartfelt adaptation. Flower-filled meadows, mother's enthralling stories, and Granny Wallon's home-brews coloured Lee's childhood. Things weren't always idyllic, however. From leaving his mother's bed, to his experiences with death, to frightening school days with a sadistic teacher, times could be tough. Things began to look up when he discovered girls, though, and his encounter with Rosie changed everything for Laurie Lee...

  Cider with Rosie
  
  The best thing about this was Laurie Lee reading his actual words on the soundtrack sometimes.
  
  My husband liked the film but I preferred the book.
