 Uldale on the Internet - About Uldale - Hugh Walpole's Herries Chronicle
Having spent much time in London, Walpole was indeed fascinated by the fact that in many of the most isolated valleys whole lives were lived without ever venturing from their confines and with no thought of the world beyond.
Walpole considered this the most amazing piece of luck, for it was the ideal place from which Walter could exercise his reign of terror and domination over the family at Uldale in the valley below.
In these novels Walpole had successfully captured all that was beautiful and important about this landscape, and had subtly combined fiction with reality such that the characters still seem as real as the places which his readers can to this day seek out for themselves.

 Tarnhelm, The Best Supernatural Stories of Hugh Walpole, published by Tartarus Press
(1930-34), four historical Lakeland novels which remain in print to this day, Walpole was widely recognised in his own lifetime as a consummate literary craftsman with a fine narrative style and an admirable ability to portray character, humour and dialogue.
Walpole had a deep and abiding interest in the supernatural and consistently incorporated macabre, mystical and supernatural elements in his work.
He also exhibits a markedly modern understanding of the psychological, and it is this combination which allows his more traditional ghost stories, such as ‘The Little Ghost’ and ‘Mrs Lunt’, to retain their power today.

He was the foreign editor of The Times; described as the "the most brilliant foreign correspondent" his generation had known, he "knew everyone and everything … and was always at the point of greatest interest and risk."

Walpole would later refer to Williams' "tact, experience, and kindness" to him during his time in Russia, and would often defer to Williams' "encyclopedic" knowledge.

In his foreword to the collected volume of The Herries Chronicle(1939), Sir Hugh Walpole wrote: "In the middle of the last war, sitting in the mud in trenches near the Carpathians, I comforted my soul with visions of an English Chronicle that would stretch, without break, from the days of Elizabeth to our modern time.
The half of that ambition is accomplished, and I hope, if my life is spared, to fulfil the rest of it." The Bright Pavilions (1940) went some way towards fulfilling his intention.
