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.

Nearly 600 illustrations make this one of the most imaginative and breathtaking guides to England's rich, often turbulent, history. The past has left its powerful legacy in buildings, monuments, pageantry, and these artifacts capture the shifts of time, expose the influence of diverse cultures, and reveal the impact of long-ago events on present-day language, settlements, terrain, and regional fortunes. Sift through the evidence left in battlefields and churches, bridges and castles to understand how real people once lived, worked, and died. See how new methods of excavation and sophisticated techniques for dating and identification have transformed scientists' understanding of recent discoveries. Imaginatively structured by theme rather than strict chronology, this absorbing account paints a compelling picture of England's past.
