Specimen Passage and Commentary

Abstract

It would be hard to find in Cider with Rosie a passage which is untypical of the whole, so consistent is it in its tone, its style, its content. The following passage was chosen almost at random. It recounts some of the impressions of summer, from the section ‘Winter and Summer’; and in particular recalls visits to the Robinsons’ to play with the five children in the bogland near their farm cottage.
