186pp. Numerous colour illustrations. Cover design by Ashley Western. Lovely blue patterned endpapers. In as new condition throughout - just a little shelf wear. The River Thames has frozen solid 40 times - and so begins a series of vignettes based on these actual events which happened between 1142 and 1895, providing a touching history of human interaction with the River Thames and an enlightening insight into how the Thames has affected London and its surrounding areas in unusual ways. Delightful. Would make excellent gift for a Londoner or lover of river life.
