Rivers Run: An Angler's Journey from Source to Sea
Parr, Kevin Rider | Ebury Publishing 2016 184604491X / 9781846044915 First Edition Hardcover New New Book 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall
New hardback, in excellent fine condition. First impression. RRP £9.99. Rivers Run is a love letter to Britain's rivers and waterways by well-known angler and naturalist Kevin Parr. On a journey around his favourite watery hideaways - such as the River Stour in Dorset, the Exe in Devon, the Avon in the Midlands and Parrs Pool in Shropshire - the author shares the thoughts and insights that bubble up while sitting peacefully by the riverside, watching the world go by and waiting for the fish to bite. Each river that he visits has played a central part in his own development as both an angler and a person, and reflects the ways in which landscape, wildlife and plants mirror the themes that flow through all our lives. The dust jacket is supplied by us in a loose protective clear archival film sleeve. This does not adhere to the book or jacket in any way and it protects the jacket against wear. 305657
