David Howe tells the story of the Lake District, England's most dramatic landscape. Home to vistas of stunning beauty and a rich heritage, it is an area of England that fascinates, inspires - and has bewitched David for a lifetime.
With passion and an endless curiosity, he reveals how half a billion years of shifting ice, violent volcanoes and (of course) falling rain have shaped the lakes and fells that have fired the imaginations of the great sons and daughters of the area, the poets and the scientists. He shows that Lakeland is a seamless web where lives and landscape weave together, where the ancient countryside has created a unique local history: of farming and mining, of tightknit communities, of a resilient and proud people.
The Lake District is a place of rocks and rain, reason and romance, wonder and curiosity. And this book celebrates it all: the very character of Cumbria.
David Howe OBE is a retired academic who has written books on psychology, relationships and social work. His passions include walking, a layman's interest in science, and writing - all of which led to the successful publication of his first non-academic book, Wandering in Norfolk: time lines and crossing places, which was shortlisted for the East Anglian Book Awards. Born and brought up in Manchester, he has a lifelong love of the Lake District.
