This work is a portrait of mountain landscapes in the Lake District, created as a collection of 18 walks which have given the author special pleasure. The descriptions are accompanied by Derry Brabb's photographs whose first work appeared in James Herriot's Yorkshire. Alfred Wainwright is the author of the Pictoral Guides to the Lakeland Fells which are the inspiration for this book. He has prepared over 40 guidebooks and volumes of drawings.
