The Emily Stone, located high on the moors above Ogden Clough, is inscribed with a poem by Kate Bush, dedicated to Emily Brontë and Wuthering Heights.

HENRY MORRIS No, it'd be more like Shakepeare writing about the 'Moor of Venice', and contemporary productions *not* blacking up the (presumably white) actor they chose to play him. I'm guessing that never happened.

*Drum roll* I'm writing a 3rd book:

THE LIE OF THE LAND

To be published by William Collins Books Autumn 2024

It will examine landowners' claims of stewardship; grouse moors; fenland drainage; invasive species - & put paid to the old lie: that only those who own land can care for it.

Your book is so achingly beautiful Noreen Masud I just can’t put it down.

I’m just a chapter away from the one dedicated to the Newcastle Moor- can’t wait to get to it and feel even more connected to your writing :)

Fragments on Walking, Writing, Mythology, Rowans, Dogs, Deer and Trains
