The Thames is a naturalist's river, and C. J. Cornish reads it from Sinodun Hill to the sea. He follows its filling, its shells, its ancient plants, and the insects and butterflies of its banks. Warm, observant, and full of English river life. A charming study of a great river as living habitat. Drift down the Thames with an eye for every shell and wing.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
