The Best of A. Wainwright

A personal selection of twenty fells from Wainwright's Pictorial Guides by Wainwright's authorised biographer Hunter Davies. Includes more than 300 pages from the Pictorial Guides, plus fascinating insights into how they were created. Alfred Wainwright's series of Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells are a legendary publishing achievement. Hand written and initially self-published they have sold over a million copies and have introduced countless thousands to the pleasures and rewards of fell walking. Here Hunter Davies selects 20 favourite fells from the seven guides, introducing each with an anecdote or memory of Wainwright and an account of how the fell came to be chosen.

This is the ideal book for a first-time visitor or walker, and it will reintroduce those already familiar with the series to forgotten pleasures, treasures and stories.
