Alfred Wainwright

    Alfred Wainwright fue un cartógrafo y autor autodidacta cuyo profundo amor por el Lake District impulsó su extensa obra. Sus guías son célebres por sus meticulosos mapas dibujados a mano y sus detalladas observaciones, nacidas de incontables horas recorriendo los páramos. Los escritos de Wainwright son más que meras herramientas de navegación; son testamentos sinceros de la belleza y la soledad de las montañas. Su estilo artístico único y su íntima conexión con el paisaje ofrecen a los lectores una profunda apreciación del mundo natural.

      Limestone country covers the north of England areas of the Yorkshire Dales and Pennine Spur. It is a landscape full of green fields and grey stone walls, limestone pavements - such as at Malham Cove - and limestone scars. The book recalls many walks there that the author has made, which he wrote about in his book walks in the limestone country. This book is illustrated with colour photographs by Ed Geldard.

    • Wainwright has selected 20 of Lakeland's principal fells which have the status of mountains and rather than describing a walk up, around and down each, his copy is more a celebration of each - he describes the particular attributes of each, the views from each top, and any outliers which have particular merit. Derry Brabb's photographs complement his text superbly.
