Waterlog [signed]

Signed early reprint of the first paperback edition of Roger Deakin's modern classic of wild swimming.

Roger Deakin has signed this fine copy on the title page.

This marvellous book was inspired by John Cheever's classic short story, 'The Swimmer' which prompted Deakin to set out from his moat in Suffolk to swim through the British Isles. As the Dustjacket blurb puts it on the first edition published a year before this paperback 'the result 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.'
