Una passione di lunga data per la campagna, e in particolare per le montagne, spinge il desiderio di Kev Reynolds di condividere il suo senso di meraviglia e delizia per il mondo naturale attraverso la sua scrittura, la fotografia e le conferenze. Ha goduto di una proficua collaborazione con Cicerone dagli anni '70, producendo numerosi libri che esplorano le principali regioni di trekking del Nepal, percorsi nelle Alpi e nei Pirenei e guide escursionistiche per aree dell'Inghilterra. Le sue raccolte di racconti autobiografici e resoconti di spedizioni catturano vividamente decenni di viaggi ed avventure in montagna. Attraverso racconti gioiosi e fotografie emozionanti, il suo lavoro celebra il fascino dei paesaggi remoti e dei rifugi alpini in essi annidati.
