Riassunto

The first full-length biography of the writer Laurie Lee, who died in May 1997. Everyone knows the outlines of Lee's life since he wrote about his youthful experiences obsessively. But how true a story did he tell? There have been recent claims thathe actually spent very little time in Spain during the Civil War. Valerie Grove investigates this and other questions, and also -through the use of his private papers to which she has had unique access - builds a fascinating portrait of Lee's turbulent private life.
