Review
"Magically wrought.... The Stream is a parable for our times; it's also screndipity and a delight."
From the Publisher
The most thought-provoking novel since 'Silent Spring'.
The author and critic Lynne Reid Banks has said of 'The Stream': "This book strikes a blow for the natural world comparable to Rachel Carson's a generation ago. It is a second 'Silent Spring'. It is a marvellous, timely and beautiful novel, irresistible from the first page."

Pale yellow boards, spine titled in gilt. Unobtrusively bumped but very good in slightly used dust-wrapper. "The most significant book of its kind that I have read since Rachel Carson's Silent Spring." David Arnold-Forster, chief executive of English Nature. "A few protesters aside, the announcement of an industrial park in a depressed rural area is widely welcomed. It promises new jobs, an influx of new blood and a return to prosperity. Some distance away, in a small valley with a stream running through it, the management of a farm passes from father to son, after years of wrangling between them about the way the farm should be run. Over time - and unnoticed by anyone - the impact of the new development on the surrounding land and the effects on the valley of the way the farm is now managed, begin to compound one another. The pressures are felt most powerfully in the stream. Little by little, the small creatures that live in the stream and the birds and animals dependent on it, become sucked into a mute and desperate struggle for survival." . Seller Inventory # 61183
