In 1939 the artist and engraver Robert Gibbings launched his home-made punt near the source of the Thames in the Cotswolds and set off on the long journey downstream. His thoughts meander as delightfully as the river itself, and as well as the sights and sounds he encounters along the way he records memories of his Irish childhood, his travels in the Pacific and his active service in the First World War. This new edition of Gibbings’s nature classic reunites his text with the engravings he made of his journey
