Twenty-one stories from the Lake District, where a quiet day on the fells is rarely as quiet as it looks.
A walker stumbles on a body and decides to say nothing. A servant is locked in the cellar one time too many. A man fakes his way to bagging all 214 Wainwrights, and gets the welcome he deserves. Some of these tales are warm and funny. Others have a sting you will not see coming until the final line. Written by a fell-walker who has stood on every one of Wainwright's 214 summits, Rucksack Tales knows its ground: the mist, the sheep trods, the pubs, the pull of the high places, and the strange things people carry up there with them.

For anyone who loves the Lakes, and anyone who enjoys a short story with a twist in its tail. Dip in. Just do not expect every ending to be a happy one.
