Review

* An illustrated biography of Walter Poucher, pioneering mountain photographer and perfumer * The story of a true English eccentric, a man in love with fast cars, mountain scenery, mascara and lipstick * Illustrated with Poucher's own photography as well as archive material and family photos Richly illustrated, this is a book which is written in a chatty and informed style and which will be enjoyed by anyone interested in the life and work of this distinguished and gifted eccentric. A good Christmas present. Keswick Reminder A fascinating biography, and one which will inspire you to track down his guidebooks - available from the same publisher. Country Walking Liberally punctuated with photographs of Poucher's personal life as well as many outdoor scenes, making it not only a fascinating read but also a record of examples of his magnificent work.
