Cumbria

This book is like a walk in the Lake District, not far from Keswick and Derwent Water. Just imagine walking out there, taking in the scenery - and all over sudden words will come to your mind, passages you might have read years ago. Only a couple of lines at a time will spring up from out of your memories just as they match to what you see.
The text passages are taken from William Wordsworth’s “Guide to the Lakes” edited 1835. Prior to printing the  sheets have been painted with colours specifically made from soil pigments.
