A SUMMER ON THE NENE. By "BB".
1967 1st edition. Tall 8vo (155 x 252mm). Pp158. Colour frontispiece and b/w scraperboard illustrations by the author. Mottled green cloth, spine titled in gilt.
"BB" takes his family down the River Nene in the motor cruiser, Jolly Enterprise. "The names of the riverside villages convey the magic of the English countryside - Wadenhoe, Titchmarsh, Water Newton, Tansor, Fotheringhay, Cotterstock, Orton Waterville - and Denys Watkins-Pitchford's exquisite engravings evoke the flora and fauna, the backwaters and locks, churches and watermills, which formed the setting for this voyage." Despite the river setting, there are few mentions of angling.
