'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.
