Description

Belloc follows the Thames from source to sea and reads England in its banks: towns, trade, war, faith, and the long habit of a river that made a country. Spoken as history you can walk, useful whenever the land itself is the best teacher.

Author

Hilaire Belloc was an Anglo-French writer and historian. He was one of the most prolific writers in England during the early twentieth century. He was known as a writer, orator, poet, sailor, satirist, man of letters, soldier and political activist. His Catholic faith had a strong impact on his works. He was President of the Oxford Union and later MP for Salford from 1906 to 1910.
