Books about rivers

53 books in our catalogue · showing 1–48

Books about rivers and the people who follow them: source-to-sea walks, canoe and cycle journeys, canal and towpath routes, and writing on river wildlife and history. A river makes a natural route and an easy structure for a book, so this shelf is rich in journeys.
