| Summary | "In Lakeland Dells and Fells" by William T. Palmer is a collection of nature writings focused on the scenic and pastoral life of the Lake District, likely written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the lives of shepherds, the beauty of the fells and dells, and the various sports and activities associated with rural life in this picturesque region. Through Palmer’s writing, readers are invited to experience the intimate connection between the land and its inhabitants, as well as the unique challenges they face. At the start of the book, the author introduces an old shepherd living on the Pennine border between Lancashire and Yorkshire, who reminisces about the changes in his profession and the land due to modern agricultural practices. The shepherd recalls the difficulties of managing sheep in the past—particularly during lambing season and storms. The narrative highlights his deep love for the land, the reliance on his skilled dogs, and some of the adventures he had while tending to his flock, including a remarkable journey driving sheep to Scotland. This opening sets the tone for a contemplative exploration of pastoral life in the Lake District, blending anecdotal storytelling with vivid descriptions of the natural landscape.
