Walks in the Rhubarb Triangle was launched at Wakefield's Rhubarb Festival in February and it's proved to be our bestselling book so far. I made the most of the large full colour format, including picture maps, landscape vignettes, 3 recipes by Barbara and several comic strips about the more colourful characters in the history of the area.
