Publisher's Synopsis
The famous Lake District in North West England has ever been the haunt of inumerable writers and artists. With illustrations by W.Heaton Cooper, a true Lakeland artist, this anthology creates an immediate impression of rugged peaks and tumbling streams, warm green valleys and dark, mysterious lakes. To read this book is to see Lakeland through the eyes of such gifted authors as Dickens, Ruskin, Lamb, Dorothy and William Wordsworth, and of more recent times, Mrs. Beatrix Heelis (Beatrix Potter), and G.M. Trevelyan.
