In December 1937, the young Laurie Lee crosses the Pyrenees and enters Spain during the civil war. The author evokes his experience of the conflict: the tedium, random cruelty and stupidity of war, observed by a poet watching the idealism of his youth crumble.

For readers interested in the Spanish Civil War, travel memoirs and British autobiographical narrative.
