"Down the River is real England, the England of field and wood and riverbank, of well-loved bird and beast, of trees and flowers and ancient lore, of human people, their lives and their laughter." A review of the first edition, in the Observer newspaper, 1937. H.E. Bates describes "the Ouse and the Nene, rivers which run parallel courses through Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Huntingdonshire and The Fens, and so to sea. It is at once a particular landscape, with precise geographical points of reference, and an archetypal one, ageless and eternal." Chapters include; the twin rivers; a boy's brook; the first river; fish and fishermen; the flood; the frost; the second river; water flowers and water creatures; flowers of childhood; the water-mill; the lace-makers; otters and men; the rivers of England; down to the sea. This new edition contains a great many specially commissioned colour and b/w sketches of the locations described, by Peter Partington. A very nice book. .

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen. The Bride Comes to Evensford, a novella first published in 1943, follows a woman from her arrival in a small town (modelled on Bates's native Rushden) to her work for a draper, her marriage to him, her increasing command over the business and the household, and finally to her infatuation with a young man as a widow in her fifties. Written and published in the midst of Bates's work for the Air Ministry, but hearkening back in style and subject matter to his pre-war stories, this is a beautiful study of one woman's life, her hopes and disappointments. Philip Toynbee stated that it had "a fine elegant shape, covering with formidable skill a period of thirty years in only twice as many pages.Mr. Bates is a master of restraint.in a period of over-exuberance.".
