In 1934 Laurie Lee set out from his home in the Cotswolds to walk to London, where he lived by playing the violin and labouring on a building site. Then, armed with one Spanish phrase, he decided to see Spain, and for a year walked through a country on the brink of civil war.

30 years later Lee captured the atmosphere in the second volume - "As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning" - of his autobiographical trilogy, which began with "Cider with Rosie".

In "A Moment of War", the concluding volume of the trilogy, Laurie Lee describes a bitter winter in Spain, which he spent fighting with the International Brigade for the Republican cause.

******* We have listed this set of tapes as an extra-ordinary exception. There is a slight dropout on the beginning of side 1 which can be fixed by simply stopping the player and re-starting it. Once tape tension is established the tapes play perfectly well. The reason for this exception is that we have a large number of Kenneth Branagh listeners who, I am assured, would love to get their hands on another recording by this wonderful performer! ******
