MEDIA REVIEWS
Nicely produced and tastefully illustrated, the whole thing enchants from start to finish * The Times *
The generous illustrations to Lakeland are by turns beautiful and quirky. Engravings by artists of the Picturesque evoke the changing past of what Hunter Davies sums up as "a living place not a museum" * TLS *
This great little book brings the Lake District memorably to life * NFU Countryside *
Davies's easy, affable style makes his Lakeland a plum-pie delight of gossip, pictures and facts. This is one to treasure * WI Life *
Davies waxes lyrical about its famous sons and daughters * This is England *
A lovely read for everyone who loves the Lakes * Cumberland News *
A beautifully produced Lake District miscellany, informed by a lifetime's enthusiasm * TGO Magazine *
