About the Author

Charlie Gladstone

With his wife Caroline Gladstone, Charlie Gladstone runs Pedlars, an award-winning company specialising in good, old-fashioned and solidly designed furniture, accessories and outdoor equipment. For more than twenty years, Charlie and Caroline have lived amongst the wild, unkempt countryside of Kincardineshire in Scotland with their six children, six dogs, some horses and some very ancient chickens. With a long family history of outdoors expertise, anecdotes and unbridled passion, Charlie and Caroline are ideally placed to write The Family Guide to the Great Outdoors, an inspiring and irresistible guide to life beyond four walls.
