A Swimmer's Journey Through Britain
Inspired by John Cheever's short story 'The Swimmer', Roger Deakin set out from his moat in Suffolk to swim through the British Isles. The result of his journey is a maverick work of observation and imagination, a uniquely personal view of an island race and a people with a deep, instinctive affinity with water. Encompassing cultural history, autobiography, travel writing and natural history, this is a personal journey, a bold assertion of the native swimmer's right to roam and an unforgettable celebration of the magic of water.
