Editorial : "A charming story, featuring a cast of memorable characters and hilarious anecdotes to be enjoyed by fans of the countryside" LIVERPOOL ECHO "A lively story for those who missed the documentary, the book is even better" THIS ENGLAND
When TV presenter Philippa Forrester first met Charlie, a wildlife cameraman, she thought he was a show-off - and he thought she was arrogant. The second time, despite being hungry, thirsty and trapped in torrential rain aboard the world's most uncomfortable boat, they fell in love. This is the story of their move out of London, deep into the heart of the English countryside. When they impulsively buy an old mill-worker's cottage, they are entranced by its river, teeming with kingfishers, mink and water fowl. But they are overjoyed when they spot an animal long thought to have abandoned the area: an otter, swimming happily past their house. Inspired, they decide to make a film about the otters on their doorstep at the same time as having a baby, setting up house, and pursuing their careers. Unsurprisingly, things turn out to be easier said than done. Written with endless charm and real affection, featuring a cast of memorable characters, "The River" is packed with hilarious stories spa
I don't know if it's because I downloaded to my phone or if there's a glitch but there are no illustrations included with the text so only an experienced weaver would be able to really follow the instructions.
No pictures at all so there's no way to know what a basket looks like before starting to weave it.
This is a legitimate book that was published in 1916 so has value but it is rather funny to read the opening introduction and the author's views on the world and basketry in the world. A beautiful book. It is an amazing story. James Glover tells the story of Bob Marshall in a way that allows the reader to "see" his life. It's sad that hand crafts have fallen so far out of everyday life but this book will not help them reemerge.
I would much rather find an original print book.
The Kindle version (at least the one I downloaded) isn't very useful.. Chinese calligraphy collectors speaK of flow and strength when describing particularly admired
