We’re happy to report that Jim Crumley and Stan Abbott have been shortlisted at the 2022 Lakeland Book of the Year awards, with their books Lakeland Wild and Walking the Line, respectively.

Jim and Stan follow in the footsteps of Saraband authors who have been selected for these awards in the recent past: Karen Lloyd’s The Gathering Tide and The Blackbird Diaries and Nicola Martin’s Dead Ringer all won awards, while Dick Capel was shortlisted with his book on the Eden Valley, The Stream Invites us to Follow. 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Her personal letters and unpublished journals from this time paint a portrait of a compassionate and creative woman who made her sickroom into a garden for herself and her pet robin and who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
