About this copy
A charming and characterful account of the working narrowboat trade on the northern Trent and Mersey canals. Robert J. Wilson brings the boatmen, their cargoes and their craft vividly to life, and this oblong paperback is a delightful window onto an industry that shaped the English waterways. This copy is a handsome original paperback, complete with its distinctive red line-drawn cover art of a decorated narrowboat and its cabin lady.
