Books by Mark Wallington

Presents a story of two city slickers - one an unattractive but streetwise mongrel from Stockwell, the other the long-suffering author - and how they came to terms with England's countryside and waterways. This book provides an account of a mismatched couple and of the people they meet and places they visit.

Mark Wallington dreams of changing the face of British comedy. Unfortunately, he's going to finance this dream by becoming a gardener. This book presents an account of a year Mark spent working in other people's gardens. Over four seasons, he crosses Hampstead Heath from job to job, all waiting for that first break.

The original Boogie, reluctant hero of the South West Peninsular Path, was the Mongrel from hell. Mark Wallington's New Boogie, like New Labour, appears a much trendier and more wholesome incarnation -until, that is, Mark gets him on the Pennine Way. This is the big one in every sense. Clearly Boogie will do fine -but will Mark be up to the task?
