Lakeland Book of the Year celebrates writing inspired by the Lake District.

Congratulations Jim and @stan.dare!

Find signed copies of ‘Recovering Dorothy’ by Polly Atkin at Sam Read Bookseller in Grasmere this #IndieBookshopWeek

Dorothy Wordsworth is well known as the author of the Alfoxden and Grasmere Journals (1798–1803) and as the sister of the poet William Wordsworth. She is widely praised for her nature writing and is often remembered as a woman of great physical vitality. Less well known, however, is that Dorothy became seriously ill in 1829 and was mostly housebound for the last twenty years of her life.

Her personal letters and unpublished journals from this time paint a portrait of a compassionate and creative woman who made her sickroom into a garden for herself and her pet robin and who finally grew to call herself a poet. They also reveal how vital Dorothy was to her brother’s success, and the closeness they shared as siblings. By re-examining her life through the perspective of her illness, this biography allows Dorothy Wordsworth to step out from her brother’s shadow and back into her own life story.

The Wordsworth siblings are a special part of Grasmere's history, where they lived in Dove Cottage.

Sue Lawrence is the author of The Unreliable Death of Lady Grange, Down to the Sea, and more recently The Green Lady, which was published earlier this year. 💚

But did you know that Sue won MasterChef in 1991 and is also one of the UK's leading cookery writers?! 🤯

Take this as your sign to enjoy a scone (or two 😉) while you read The Green Lady this weekend 📖

Signed copies of The Green Lady are available at The Mainstreet Trading Company this #IndieBookshopWeek

Ahead of Father's Day this weekend, we’d like to share some titles we think dads everywhere will love:

🌍 Extraction to Extinction by David Howe

Tracing our environmental impact through time, David Howe demonstrates how humanity’s exploitation of the Earth’s natural resources has pushed our planet to its limit and asks: what’s next for our depleted planet?

⚽ Twenty Football Towns by Steve Leach

Meat-and-potato pies, quirky club mascots, standing room paddocks and hyperlocal sponsors... at every local club, there is much more about ‘going to the match’ than the match itself.

⚠️ How to Survive Everything by Ewan Morrison

Inspired by her father’s advance planning and her own ingenuity and courage, this is one teenage girl’s survival guide for navigating life under a new, even more deadly pandemic from the confines of a prepper compound. Will she ride out the collapse of everything she knows, and how can she save her family – and sanity?

🗿 Ring of Stone Circles by Stan L Abbott

An exploration into our Neolithic past covering a fascinating range of history, myth, legend, and practical guidance for visiting this iconic scenery.
