A classic book on the delights of our rivers and waterways. This is a lyrical prose, illustrated with over thirty sensitive engravings which capture the author's love of nature, as well as the characters in this world. He had a pastoral vision, albeit one imbued with melancholy, at the passing of working barges and a changing world.
