In the Footprints of Wainwright by Derry Brabbs

When A. Wainwright completed his legendary of series of hand-drawn, hand-lettered "Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells", he embarked upon a series of larger-format guidebooks to the Lake District, illustrated with photographs by an up-and-coming young photographer called Derry Brabbs. Not surprisingly, the books became best-sellers: nobody knew the fells better than Wainwright, or wrote about them with such passion and eloquence. His pocket-sized guidebooks are still the companion for a walker on the fells; these larger volumes, with their stunning images, became the chosen fireside reading of walkers and Lakeland enthusiasts up and down the country. Now, more than 20 years after the first of these larger guides, "Fellwalking with Wainwright", was originally published, Derry Brabbs has revisited the Lakeland fells and taken a set of spectacular new photographs to illustrate Wainwright's well-loved text. The format of this new edition has been increased to do them justice. Born in Blackburn in 1907, A. Wainwright developed a life-long passion for the Lakeland fells. In 1941 he moved to Kendal and from 1952 he devoted every spare moment to researching and compiling his "Pictorial Guides". As well as his best-selling walking guides, he produced an autobiography, "Memoirs of a Fellwadered", and many volumes of intricate ink sketches of landscapes in England, Scotland and Wales. A. Wainwright died in 1991 at the age of 84.
