Wainwright: The Man Who Loved the Lakes is a celebration of the British landscape, & it tells the remarkable story of Alfred Wainwright who in 1952 decided to hand draw a series of guides to the fells of Lakel&. For the next 13 years he spent every weekend walking, & every weekday evening drawing & writing
- completing one page per night. The result was Wainwright`s Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells. Although initially self published they have now sold over a million copies & are still popular & much loved today. He went on to present a series of TV shows on the BBC about walking in the Lake District that made him even better known. He was an unlikely celebrity, he preferred his own company & thought walking in the countryside should be a solitary rather than group pursuit. Wainwright: The Man Who Loved the Lakes introduces him to a new generation of lovers of the countryside, features some of Wainwright`s favourite walks & is lavishly illustrated, including stunning aerial shots of the Lake District.
