The Lake District Quiz Book by David Felton, £6.99

WHICH 1970s sitcom was set in a fictional Cumbrian jail? Which fell is home to Mrs Tiggywinkle? What luxury did Alfred Wainwright choose on Desert Island Discs? And you may know the famous gastronomic treats made in Grasmere and Cartmel but which fruit is celebrated annually at Acorn Bank?

This new quiz book is packed with facts and figures, truths and lies, essential information and totally pointless trivia. Covering just about every aspect of Cumbria from the highest fells to the lowest valleys, from literary lakes to the world's biggest liar, from ghostly spectres to real lives past and present.

Test yourself, your family and friends with more than 600 questions, some quickfire, some with photographs, some serious, some daft but almost all thought-provoking!
