Published by Blackwell's viii+56pp
edited by Patrick Monkhouse, Charles Plumb
with By Way of Preface

"Dedicated to Harold Acton, beloved and magnanimous duce of poets." The partnership of Monkhouse and Plumb continued, in a sense, in the 1930s, when they each contributed fell-walking books to the same series: Monkhouse, the keener of the two, covering the Peak District, the Pennines and North Wales, while Plumb contented himself with the Grampians.
