Book description
Bestselling author Christopher Winn takes us on a fascinating journey
through the Lake District, that majestic landscape in Cumbria 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.
Christopher Winn's first book was the bestselling I Never Knew
That About England.
Volumes on Ireland, Scotland, Wales and London followed and he has
recently published books on the English, Scottish and Irish, alongside
an illustrated edition of I Never Knew That
About England. A freelance writer and collector of trivia for
over 20 years, he has worked with Terry Wogan and Jonathan Ross and
sets quiz questions for television as well as for the Daily
Mail and the Daily Telegraph. He is married to artist Mai
Osawa, who illustrates all the books in the series. His website is
