Pedlars' Guide To The Great Outdoors Book

By Charlie and Caroline Gladstone. As we are stocking a few beloved books here at Gladstone / Hellen we thought that we should add this to the site. This is the first hardback edition. It was later published in paperback, as The Family Guide to The Great Outdoors. 

Anyway, it’s our book -with a lovely cover, great photos and illustrations by our long term collaborator Matt Blease - about how to have fun and learn interesting things in the countryside with children. And 13 years on we remain super proud of it. In many ways it’s about our experience of bringing up our six children in the Highlands with contributions from various experts.

“BUY this book, read it and get excited. It is full of inspiring ideas to lure your offspring away from the screen and into the great outdoors”. Helena Bonham Carter.

“If you had six kids, you’d kick them out of the house, wouldn’t you? The Gladstones are the gurus of the Great Outdoors”. Harry Enfield.
