This is the fab Bookends of Keswick who now have signed copies of 'Trailing Clouds of Glory'. In fact, a lady bought a copy while I was there signing them. Fame at last.🙂 And they play Nick Drake while you browse.

Oh, look, it's that book again! Catbells and Derwentwater as seen from the road to Watendlath. It's Watendlath Beck that makes the Lodore Falls as per the famous Robert Southey poem - but the beck is almost dry. Book available from @bookendscarlisle.bsky.social and @samreadbookseller.bsky.social

It might be squashed near to the bottom, but Corpse Roads, even a few years after publication still sells regularly. Core stock for our bookshops- doesn't need a hard sell!
