Rucksack Tales are a mixed bag of stories set mainly in the English Lake District. I think of them being a bit like a box of chocolates - some dark, some light and some are very fruity Others are just nutty and you may wonder why they are in the box at all, but it's all down to humour and how broad-minded you are. Dip in, lick those lips and savour You could read them all in one go, but don't blame me if it makes you queasy
