Cider with Rosie is a 1959 book by Laurie Lee, the first book of a trilogy consisting of As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning (1969) and A Moment of War (1991).

Plot

It is an account of his childhood in the village of Slad in Gloucestershire in England, in the period soon after the First World War. It chronicles the traditional village life which disappeared with the advent of new developments, such as the coming of the motor car, and also of the experience of childhood seen from many years later.

The identity of Rosie was revealed years later to be his distant cousin Rosalind Buckland

Cider with Rosie has been dramatized for television by the BBC, and is also sometimes a part of the curriculum in English classes in schools.
