Coniston Tales
by William Gershom Collingwood
'Coniston Tales' Summary
Coniston Tales is a collection of poems and short prose pieces by William Gershom Collingwood that celebrate the landscape, history, and legends of Coniston in the English Lake District. Collingwood, who gave up a promising academic career to become John Ruskin's personal secretary, lived at Brantwood, Ruskin's home in Coniston, and was deeply immersed in the community and its surroundings. The pieces in Coniston Tales reflect this immersion, capturing the beauty and spirit of the region with a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of its history and folklore.Book Details
