Description
The Book of Coniston by W. G. Collingwood is a 64-page paperback edition, first published in May 2016.
Collingwood's account of his time at the Lake District begins with a walk up Coniston Old Man, describing the path to the summit as 'good as paths go on mountains' - a straightforward yet engaging start to this personal and reflective work.
On a cloudy day, the ascent is particularly worthwhile, offering a welcome change from the town pavement and hard high road. This book provides an intimate look at Collingwood's experiences in the Lake District, written in his characteristic clear and concise style.
