An absolute must for any lover of the Lake District. Where Wainwright (Alfred) was compiling a beautiful but scientific account of the Lake District, A. Harry Griffin was there to record it's soul. To own this book is have have a treasured possesion to be read again and again.

"AHG" was a paragon amongst both mountaineers and Guardian readers alike. He brought a wealth of experience in his writing and in his ability to portray that to readers who,in some cases, didn't venture beyond Watford.
He had the ability to appeal to all; those who ventured on to the fells (and to whom he never sounded condescending) and those to whom it was their "first visit".

Great stuff all round; a man sadly missed.

Harry Griffin's marvellous collection of beautiful Cumbrian vignettes drawn from 52 years of his Guardian Country Diary column is attractively brought together and narrated by fellow 'Guardianist', Martin Wainwright.
Ranging far and wide over his beloved fells, Harry offers us glimpses of a life less ordinary, lived to the full in one of Europes' most aesthetically uplifting areas.
Covering everything from rescuing crag fast sheep to long dead Lakeland characters, this beautifully produced small book is a delight from start to finish.
