  Touring the places captured in the minds of Britain's most enduring and popular writers and the landscapes in which their characters walked, A Reader's Guide is both a bedside companion and a useful travel guide. Every location is brought to life with anecdote and incident: from Wordsworth's Lakes, Dickens' London, Robert Louis Stevenson's Edinburgh to Dylan Thomas' Wales; and the places that inspired children's authors from A.A. Milne to Beatrix Potter and present-day favourites from Dick Francis to Ellis Peters. Compiled with the support of the tourist boards of England, Scotland and Wales, this is an illustrated guide with over 600 colour pictures, regional maps, author portraits and it has a gazetteer of museums and houses open to the public.
