Author Information

Jonathan has been Cicerone's publisher and managing director for over 20 years, working with authors and leading the development of the range. Lesley has been Cicerone's marketing director, leading Cicerone's sales efforts and the overall marketing strategy. Although they met at sea, they quickly gravitated to the mountains and trekking, before taking on Cicerone to communicate their passion for mountains, wild places and other journeys on foot or by bike. They are based on the edge of the Lake District.
