About this title: These five collections of intricate pen-and-ink drawings by A. Wainwright - author of the legendary pictorial guides to the Lakeland Fells - were first published in the late sixties and early seventies. In typically forthright language, the author called the first of them his private rebellion against 'acceptance as art of poverty-stricken and barren inspiration and rank bad execution'. Each sketchbook contains eighty delightful pen-and-ink drawings of Lakeland scenes. Each drawing is accompanied by a simple map to identify the location of the viewpoint in relation to its surroundings.
Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is described below.
