We've put together a couple of Calendars based on the
books of ... the eccentric ...
John "Poet" Close. |
|
John "Poet" Close was born in Kirkby Stephen,
Westmorland in 1816. He spent his summers in Windermere
where he wrote and sold his books. Anything was fair
game for his poetry and literary comments, often landing
him in hot water. He was a prolific writer and published
his Grand Lake and Christmas books each year for over 20
years. The books were illustrated with original
drawings, some of which are reproduced here. Enjoy. |
