Shortlisted for the 2015 Wainwright Prize

In this journey across England''s most forbidding and mysterious terrain, William Atkins takes the reader from south to north, exploring moorland''s uniquely captivating position in our history, literature and psyche. Atkins'' journey is full of encounters, busy with the voices of the moors, past and present. He shows us that, while the fierce terrains we associate with Wuthering Heights and The Hound of the Baskervilles are very human landscapes, the moors remain daunting and defiant, standing steadfast against the passage of time.
