Join Roger Deakin in an uplifting aquatic journey through Britain's waterways: the moat behind his home in Suffolk, the Scilly Isles in Cornwall, a "riot of small rivers" in Hampshire, the Granta River in Cambridge, the Fens in Ely, and many, many more. A dazzling tour of England strewn with literary treasures and daydreamy history, Waterlog is a memoir and a reference, an elegant exploration of the ancient ways in which our bodies belong to the earth.
