 ‘Wainwright’ by W. R. Mitchell
Alfred Wainwright (1907-91)
bestrode the lonely fells of the Lake District, making notes and taking
photographs that became the raw material for a series of remarkable
Pictorial Guides. A perfectionist, he ensured that each page – art work
and text – was complete, printed without the addition of a single line
of type. Wainwright became a household name, largely through television
programmes, This slim, well-illustrated book is anecdotal rather than biographical, with snippets of interest to Wainwright fans.
