interested to hear that you're planning a 3000 Project on Henry Moon, J.B.
Priestley & myself. I hope you treat us fair and that we get 1000 words
each. All I can tell you about the other two is that they have both turned down
Knighthoods (I have not been asked, but then I'm a bit younger than they are). I
like long legs, summer evenings and I dislike commercial television, commercial
radio and anything made of plastic. Good luck". English poet, novelist and
screenwriter Laurie Lee (1914-1997) is best known for his famous trilogy
which consisted of the autobiographical books Cider with Rosie (1959),
As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning (1969), and A Moment of War
