About this listen

 Each week, Alexander Law wrote a letter to one of his three grandchildren. Full of the warmth and affection of a doting Grandad, they blend a love of language and storytelling with a gentle wit and mischievous sense of fun. They paint a vivid picture of the landscape and wildlife of his Cumbrian Lake District home. In this podcast, the letters are read by Alexander’s youngest grandson Richard – a radio and podcast presenter and producer.
