About this title

Review:

I am a little ashamed to admit that I began by using William Wordsworth's The Prelude as my bedtime story, confident that I would be lulled off pretty fast. But it proved altogether too fascinating. Promoted to my striding-the-hills-and-dales book, it is hugely enjoyable, telling not just of Wordsworth's love of the lakes but of his life in London and in France during the Revolution, and full of course of famous lines ('Bliss it was in that dawn to be alive / But to be young was very heaven; Rise up, thou monstrous ant-hill on the plain / Of a too busy world!'). --Christina Hardyment, The Times
