Christopher Winn takes us on a fascinating journey through the Lake District, that majestic landscape beloved of poets and tourists, hill walkers, seekers of scenic beauty, and those who mess about in boats. Learn about the hidden places, the secrets and legends, wild characters and human stories that haunt England's most mountainous region--from England's wettest place to the country's highest point, from the birthplace of Postman Pat to the resting place of Poet Laureates.
