I Can’t Stay Long

Laurie Lee

From the author of Cider with Rosie, a look at a lost age of travel and the English countryside

‘They are memorials to times and countries whose best is probably past and gone … I was lucky to have known them when I did, before darkness began to fall from the air.’

In this much-loved volume, a mature Laurie Lee returns to the Gloucestershire childhood familiar to readers of Cider with Rosie, a world lost even at the time of writing to the march of twentieth-century technology. Lee also explores the post-war travels that took him to, amongst others, the Netherlands, Tuscany, Mexico and the West Indies. With pieces dating from the 1940s and 50s, Lee captures a world now for ever changed by war and mass tourism, ‘when to be a traveller was not yet to be just a labelled unit’.
