It is not as widely known as it should be that Britain has the most varied geology of any country in the world. This book is a celebration in words & pictures of what its mountains are made from, & how they got there. This in turn determines what they`re like to climb, scramble on, or walk over. Why is Skiddaw slate so slippery? How do tors form? Why is gritstone so difficult? Why is Lakeland so picturesque, & the granite lands so grim & forbidding?

` Get away from here before you`re completely bewitched & enslaved...` Dorothy Carrington was told, while sitting in a fisherman`s cafe at the magically quiet midday hour. But enslaved she was. Granite Isl&, much more than a travel book, grew out of years spent in Corsica & is an incomparably vivid & delightful portrait.
