'A simply wonderful book...the perfect union of writer and subject...a delightfully eccentric masterpiece; no poolside or riverbank should be without it' Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday
Roger Deakin, who died in 2006, was a writer, filmmaker and environmentalist of international renown. He was a founder member of Friends of the Earth, and co-founded Common Ground. He lived for thirty-eight years in a moated farmhouse in Suffolk. Waterlog, which was first published in 1999, became a word-of-mouth bestseller, and is now an established classic of the nature writing canon.
A delicious, cleansing, funny, wise and joyful book, so wonderfully
full of energy and life. I loved it -- Jane Gardam
Highly entertaining...Waterlog is a book about a cold, wet
subject written with a warmth and passion it surely deserves, but
has rarely had before * Guardian *
A wonderful and romantic tale told by a true English
eccentric...think Ratty, think Mole, think three men falling out of
a boat...enchanting -- Michele Roberts * Financial Times *
A travel book like no other, it is rich and deep with insights on
modern Britain * The Independent *
