Success at Lakeland Book of the Year Awards 2024

Huge congratulations to Derek Cockell whose book “A Newt in Hard Tarn” was Runner-Up in the People and Business Category of the Lakeland Book of the Year Awards 2024. The category was sponsored by Bookends.

Rory Stewart’s best-selling book “Politics on the Edge” was the Category Winner so extremely tough competition!

Derek’s book is a personal appreciation of the life and work of Alfred Wainwright, in particular his unique writing style in over fifty published books together with his incomparable penmanship in creating the many beautiful pen and ink drawings that illustrate his work.

You can buy Derek’s book from the Society’s website:
