Going to the Lake District?,
By
This review is from: A Walk Around the Lakes (Paperback)
Although this book was published in 1980, it is a fresh and very readable introduction to the Lake District. Think Bill Bryson and you get the idea of the author's style. Wonderful treatment in particular of Wordsworth and his group, including Coleridge and DeQuincy. Irreverent humor throughout. Nice discussion of other notables such as Robert Southey (and his wonderful tongue-twisting description of Lodore Falls) and Beatrix Potter and John Ruskin.
