Product Description
Review
Not only is High Places a compendium of fine work from one of the regions most respected journalists, it is illustrated throughout by the sketches of Alfred Wainwright, the acclaimed Lake District and Coast to Coast chronicler. That's some double act. (Lancashire Evening Post )
I recommend this collection to any Lake District enthusiast. For fans of A.H. Griffin, this book is a must. (TGO: The Great Outdoors )
This collection of articles, all written with the familiarity of a native, the eye of a journalist and the heart of one who was besotted with the fells all his life, whether describing a day on the tops or an encounter with a fox or a stag, never fails to lift the spirit. (Cumbria )
Combining the beautiful nature writing of Harry Griffin and the drawings of Alfred Wainwirght is a stroke of genius. It's a wonderful book worth reading over and over again - preferably while curled up in front of a log fire and a glass of red wine to hand. (Whitehaven News )

Product Description
Better known as Harry Griffin, and for fifty years the Guardian's country diarist, A.H. Griffin also wrote a weekly feature called 'Leaves from a Lakeland Notebook' for the Lancashire Evening Post for almost thirty years until his death in 2004. The High Places is a selection of those articles with illustrations by a man who shared his passion for the Lake District: Alfred Wainwright. Griffin's descriptions of days spent in the mountains and discussions of diverse Lake District matters – from the number of cairns being built by walkers to the quality of a farmer's wife's mutton pie – perfectly combine with drawings from Wainwright's five-volume Lakeland Sketchbook series to make The High Places a delightful celebration of the mountains and fells of Lakeland and their history.

First Sentence
There's no more pleasant way of spending a summer Sunday afternoon than climbing, in old clothes and well-worn rubber shoes, the clean, sunny face of dimmer Crag in Langdale and enjoying long smokes in the sunshine between pitches. Read the first page Browse Sample Pages
