The seed of this book was sown while studying education at Westminster Training College (Oxford) in the late 1960s. David became aware of a family connection withstone-mason, teacher and poet John Richardson through a college assignment.

He is a keen and experienced fell-walker, and now lives in Northumberland with his wife. Read More Read Less
