Back in 1960, as an eight year old I had my first holiday in the Duddon staying at Nook Cottage in Hall Dunnerdale behind where the garage was. <br /><br />In a small bookcase inside the cottage was a history of the area, if I remember correctly it was a well worn booklet. It mentioned that the last person to be killed by a wolf in England was a girl called Dolly who was fleeing from the animal when she fell into the river in one of the deep pools which became known as Dollys Dub.<br /><br />I have long wanted to find a copy of the booklet but do not know its title or anything about it other than the description of the incident that I have just mentioned, could it be possible that it is in the book you have ? I would love to know !! <br />regards<br /><br />WesCygnetukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05133203478174853797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-19526279151083270282018-03-29T16:12:00.064+01:002018-03-29T16:12:00.064+01:00Julian, did you ever get a copy of Wonderful Walke...Julian, did you ever get a copy of Wonderful Walker?

We are descended from Wonderful Walker and have his original will amongst other things. It too makes an amazing read. <br />I would be very interested in either borrowing or purchasing your copy of this publication. the Duddon Valley history society would also be interested.<br />Pease let me know if you would proceed with a sale.<br />Regards <br />Julian RitchieJuliannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-8351971843105306172010-09-29T12:10:29.305+01:002010-09-29T12:10:29.305+01:00I too have a copy of this booklet which has been i...I too have a copy of this booklet which has been in the family for some time.

It describes Young's walk around that area where he stumbled on Seathwaite, the home of Wonderful Walker. It includes a few photos that he must have taken at the time. He was obviously inspired by the story of the man's life and the beauty of that part of England.<br /><br />I am not sure what to do with the booklet, but it might mean the world to somebody. It was given to me great grandfather by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
