Hardwicke rawnsley biography of rory allen

Michael Allen and Rosalind Rawnsley. To order your copy follow this link to the Books Cumbria website. I marvel at how you have managed to include so much and provide such great detail on a very broad range of subjects. I found the section about Wray extremely interesting, having grown up a few miles away in Hawkshead. HDR was a very definite presence in the Lakes during the time I lived there in the sixties and seventies.

The now no longer unsung roles of Edith and Eleanor in keeping this potentially runaway train on the tracks, was of immense importance. Without their influence an awful lot of very important things might not have been achieved.

For me HDR is the archetypal activist for and facilitator of good causes. Being, as it were, at the sharp end of campaigns and controversies, he was bound to make some enemies but that should not detract from the sum total of his achievements. It is up to researchers in other fields, such as education and welfare, to assess the extent of his influence, for which purpose the biography is a good starting point.

To sum up I applaud your achievement in producing this biography, which for quality I would place in the top tier of the genre.
