In these evocative and elegiac writings L. T. C. Rolt meditates on landscape, history, poetry, steam railways, vintage cars and the endless summer days of his childhood. He also recalls his many happy boating voyages on Britain's canals: the peace and tranquillity, the wildlife and people, the changing scenery as he travelled from county to county, and the role he played in preserving the waterways for future generations.
L. T. C. Rolt (1910-1974) was the noted biographer of major civil engineering figures such as Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Thomas Telford. Co-founder of the Inland Waterways Association, he was one of the pioneers of the leisure cruising industry on Britain's canals, as well as a classic car and heritage railway enthusiast.
