"This is the story of a small paradise on the banks of the River Avon where the author has restored a mill house, old enough to appear in the Domesday Book, and created a watery world of infinite charm...It is here that Aylmer Tryon spends countless hours, watching and recording the life around him, and in this book he paints a pastoral idyll so full of charm and character as to take us back to the books of our childhood...Rich in anecdote and beautifully illustrated by Rodger McPhail..."
