Présentation de l'éditeur
English Lakes in 1824, when as a child of five and a half years old he journeyed in Mr. Telford scomfortable travelling coach with his mother and father and the Scotch nurse A nne from London to the north. What wine business the firm of Ruskin, Telford Domecq hoped to do at Keswick I know not, but if it was to start the son of the younger partner in his own business in life, the visit was eventful and well rewarded. For it was on this visit that the little lad, scrambling about at Friars Crag in charge of his nurse, felt the scene so appeal to him as to make him from that hour a dedicated spirit to the beauty and the wonders of Nature.
