Rucksack Editions

Here’s a neat idea: the wise words of great outdoor sages distilled into rugged, waterproof books that are pocket-sized and perfect for taking on a walk. Published by Galileo, the Rucksack Editions include volumes by William and Dorothy Wordsworth (full marks for giving Dorothy equal billing), John Muir, the man who created America’s national parks, and the poet and essayist Edward Thomas (more of him on p.36). £10 each from www.galileopublishing.co.uk
