Format:Paperback
I believe that this book was originally published in 1979, I well remember my hardcopy I read in the early eighties because it was such an enjoyable read.There is little doubt the author loves the region as do I. This book is just as much a guide to the Lake District as it is a walking journal. Based around the Lake poets, in particular Wordsworth it also features Ruskin,Beatrix Potter and other notables along with local characters he meets on his journey.Although some thirty years old now it still evokes a sense of Peace,nostalgia and the beauty of the lakes as well as being a useful reference book e.g Bonningtons best climbs,Wainwrights fells,places to visit etc.
Don't be put off that it was first written some time ago, its still an excellent read today as it was then and it will make you want to don your boots and get out there. A joy for the walker,historian,artist and poet inside everyone.
