Laurie Lee left his childhood home in the Cotswolds when he was nineteen  but it remained with him throughout his life until  many years later  he returned for good. This collection brings to life the sights  sounds  landscapes and traditions of his home - from centuries-old May Day rituals to his own patch of garden  from carol singing in crunching snow to pub conversations and songs. Here too he writes about the mysteries of love  living in wartime Chelsea  Winston Churchills wintry funeral and his battle  in old age  to save his beloved Slad Valley from developers.  Told with a warm sense of humour and a powerful sense of history  Village Christmas brings us a picture of a vanished world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44967989805109,"sku":"ByrdShop_0241243653","price":92.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780241243657.jpg?v=1770643750","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/village-christmas-and-other-notes-on-the-english-year","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
