Opis

Travelling partly on foot and bicycle, but chiefly in a plywood, 15-foot punt, Tom Fort journeys along the River Trent in order to explore the unsung heart of Middle England.

Recenzje

In Downstream, Fort sets out by punt to explore what he describes, in a characteristically lovely phrase. as 'the concealed dimension' of water. Fort is a quintessentially English guide. A pleasingly unstructured ramble through the history of the Midlands. Observer
