Reviews

‘In these domestic travel writings, reminiscent of Jonathan Raban or Iain Sinclair, John Scanlan tours West Cumbria, framing its history in stark contrast to the “other Cumbria” of the Lake District. Without pretence to immutability, he finds West Cumbria to be dynamic, having always ‘pointed itself towards the future through industrial change and both in and out migration.’ — Cumbria Life magazine.

‘Does a remarkable job in capturing the essence of this region’ —Tidelines magazine
