…when not scribbling away on her latest Miss Dido Kent mystery, our author Anna Dean works as a guide showing visitors around William Wordsworth’s house, Dove Cottage?  And it looks like it’s going to be a busy summer in Grasmere: poetry workshops, free talks (focusing on the Lake District as seen through the eyes of its early visitors and artists), as well as fun arts and crafts for the whole family. As if the scenery wasn’t enough…

And if you’re a fan of historical mysteries, Anna Dean’s most recent paperback, A Gentleman of Fortune, should be top of your holiday reading list.
