An Unsuspected Paradise In December 1799 William and Dorothy Wordsworth moved into a former Inn called Dove Cottage. It was here that William wrote some of his best poetry and spent the early years of his married life with Mary. Coleridge and de Qulncey were frequent visitors and ' plain living and high thinking ' were the rule. Michael Oliver visits the cottage in Grasmere - now an award-winning museum - and discovers its influence on the poet. Readers ALAN DOBIE and ELIZABETH PROUD
