The preview photo shows Society members outside 'Riverdale' at
Hawkswick in the Yorkshire Dales, November 2008. Although extended
in recent times, this is the cottage where Leo lived for 2 years and
completed Master Mariner. It was published by Collins in 1948.







A full account of his time there can be found in Shells and Bright Stones
(Stead, N., 2001. Otley: Smith Settle. Ch. 19).



A newly-republished edition of Master Mariner can be purchased here.
