Introduction
In 1930 Walpole wrote possibly his best known work, Rogue Herries, a historical novel set in the Lake District. It was well-received: The Daily Mail considered it "not only a profound study of human character, but a subtle and intimate biography of a place."[84] He followed it with three sequels; all four novels were published in a single volume as The Herries Chronicle.
