Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A remarkable book, recounting Roger Deakin's quest to swim through the British Isles, which combines cultural history, travel writing, autobiography and natural history, and which gives us a unique perspective on our own islands.

Review:

"The chapters unfurl like a warm tide of pleasant anecdotage." - Daily Telegraph

"A wonderful and romantic tale told by a true English eccentric...think Ratty, think Mole--enchanting." - Michele Roberts, Financial Times

Synopsis:

Inspired by John Cheever's short story "The Swimmer", Roger Deakin set out in 1996 to swim through the British Isles. From the sea, from rock pools, from rivers and streams, tarns, lakes, lochs, ponds, lidos, swimming pools, and spas, Deakin presents an alternative perspective on Britain.

Synopsis:

Inspired by John Cheever's classic short story, "The Swimmer," Roger Deakin set out from his moat in Suffolk to swim through the British Isles. The result of his journey is a maverick work of observation and imagination.
