Wainwrightthe Biography

Alfred Wainwright will always be known for his Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells: hand-drawn and hand-written works of art from which true fell-walkers have taken their inspiration for the past 40 years. Despite many bestselling books and three television series, Wainwright always remained a very private person, encouraging people to believe his image as a gruff recluse. But Hunter Davies reveals a passionate, witty and generous man.
