The Secret Valley: The Real Romance of Unconquered Lakeland

Nicholas Size
£8.00

The Secret Vally tells the story of how the people of Lakeland held out for half a century against the Norman conquerors. The headquarters of the resistance were in a hidden location, the upper part of the valley which contains Crummock Water and Buttermere. The historical facts concerning Lakeland in the Norman period are scant, and Size has therefore written his book in the form of a historical novel.
