Most Helpful Customer Reviews   9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: Capture the magic of the lakes without even leaving home!, 14 Jan 2001 By  s.j.hale@btinternet.com (England) - See all my reviews Having been born and brought up in the Lakes - " A Walk in the Lakes" is a superb book for a re-visit, capturing the magic and mysteries of the Lake District. Hunter Davies adds a pinch of history, with the Lakes poets and favourite characters, such as Ruskin, Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. He also mixes a little of the uniqueness of the Lakes villages and towns and introduces the reader to some of the locals! The Lakes is a stunningly beautiful place steeped in histroy and Hunter Davies captures this in his writing - a superb book - made me want to visit home!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
