It made me want to pull on my stoutest boots and follow in his footsteps' - Stephen Fry 'Sheer bloody genius . . . I loved it. Then I loved it more' - John Lewis-Stempel, author of Meadowlands A hill is not a mountain. You climb it for you, then you put it quietly inside you, in a cupboard marked 'Quite A Lot Of Hills' where it makes its infinitesimal mark on who you are.  Ring the Hill is a book written around, and about, hills: it includes a northern hill, a hill that never ends and the smallest hill in England. Each chapter takes a type of hill - whether it's a knoll, cap, cliff, tor or even a mere bump - as a starting point for one of Tom's characteristically unpredictable and wide-ranging explorations. Tom's lyrical, candid prose roams from an intimate relationship with a particular cove on the south coast, to meditations on his great-grandmother and a lesson on what goes into the mapping of hills themselves. Because a good walk in the hills is never just about the hills: you never know where it might lead.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49204810121435,"sku":"9781800756038-RETAIL","price":22.94,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f43f1075-9d0f-4c7d-984c-b9e89a262b3b.jpg?v=1788187117","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781800756038-retail-ring-the-hill","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
