The Laurie Lee Folio

Published to coincide with the centenary of his birth, this is a beautiful folio of Lee's artworks which have not been previously published. Lee was a prolific artist, though his body of work remained hidden in his cottage in Slad, Gloucestershire. Decades later, it was found under a bed by his daughter Jessy, who has catalogued it and written a charming essay as an introduction, describing her life with her father.

Full of personal memories and wonderful anecdotes, this book provides a little glimpse into the world of Laurie Lee, and the close relationship enjoyed between father and daughter.
