On the morning of Tuesday,21 October 1997,many of his friends and admirers gathered at St James's Church,Picadilly, to celebrate the long and creative life of
Laurie Lee,who had died earlier in the year.The occasion was organised by Jock Gallagher,former BBC producer and long-term friend,and by Laurie's wife and daughter,Cathy and Jessy.Together they assembled a number of people - fellow-writers,politicians,his publisher - who had known Laurie personally and had profound admiration for the man and his work.They each paid moving tribute to the man they had known,and the occasion was given extra resonance by many readings from Laurie's own work.This small book,
which takes its title from one of Laurie's
best-known poems,prints the complete text of the celebratory service.It is published in tribute to a remarkable writer,and in the belief too that it offers a small but fascinating portrait of a gifted yet complex and elusive character.
