1991 1st edition. George Philip. London. 4to. Pp143. Colour & b/w illustrations by Robin Armstrong. Very good in dust-wrapper.
Notes: The sequel to "The painted stream" and "Split-cane and sable" tells of Armstrong's final year as a water-bailiff on the River Tavy. The narrative is accompanied by his paintings and drawings of Dartmoor wildlife, landscapes and local characters.
