Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First published in 1944, and now reissued with a new section of black and white plates, this book has become a classic on its subject, and may be said to have started a revival of interest in the English Waterways. It was on a spring day in 1939 that L.T.C. R…olt first stepped aboard "Cressy". This engaging book tells the story of how he and his wife adapted and fitted out the boat as a home and recreates the journey of some 400 miles they made along the network of waterways in the Midlands. It recalls the boatmen and their craft, and celebrates the then seemingly timeless nature of the English Countryside through which they passed. A green coloured, hardback book, with dust jacket and translucent cover over the jacket. The book is in really good condition, normal wear, marks and tear apply consistent with use and age. 212 pages all intact, all pages, text and illustrations are in really good, clean, readable order. The author L.T.C. Roth founded the Inland Waterways Association, and was instrumental in encouraging interest in Britain's Industrial heritage at Talylln and elsewhere. A nice informative book, that is not only a good read, but helps readers through the authors' first hand experiences with transforming his narrow boat and of travelling along the waterways.
