Belloc also wrote a number of travel works, including this one, which offers a considerate insight into the history of the river and its influence as well as description of the geography and social history of the surrounding settlements. Illustrated by A. R. Quinton, a renowned watercolour artist, known for his paintings of British villages and landscapes. In the original pictorial green cloth binding. Externally smart with slight rubbing to the boards and extremities. Slight bumping to the extremities. The odd mark to the boards. Internally firmly bound.
