Abstract: Young Laurie Lee, just three years old, is brought to his new home, a cottage in a Gloucestershire village which he is to share with his mother, brothers and sisters until he is almost twenty. The section is a ragbag of memories from his first year there: his terror on first arrival when he was alone for the first time in his life; his discovery of the teeming abundance of nature all around him; the arrival of a soldier who had deserted from the war; the end of the First World War, with its attendant wildness and celebrations.
