What a compelling introduction. I have ordered a copy and look forward to reading it. I love the cover they chose, and can’t wait to get into the hills.
William and Dorothy Wordsworth also out on the Quantocks with him and independently. And there were earlier adventurers on the fells. But STC's attitude to it is so much my own and the amount of fun he had is so intense... Wonderful writing too, a little of which will be in tomorrow's post.
That cover (along with Rhiane's foreword) is the ONLY photo out of 320 that I didn't take myself... Do wish the lassie had done up her rucksack
Love the idea that Samuel Taylor Coleridge initiated the tradition of hill walking for fun! 🌿
Congratulations Ronald I look forward to reading the book

Congratulations on the new book - and what a beautiful intro. It'll stay in my thoughts.
Congratulations on your publication day!
Thanks WTRI! And I really enjoyed your deep dive into the green shades of Andrew Marvell just been reading
Thank-you!
Enticingly written. On my list of books to buy.
Thanks, Tony - though I don't think you need any tips from me about hillwalking!
always a pleasure to read a well written book.

That's actually a reply to the subsequent comment from James Lee - sorry!
