Review by: Mandy Apgar
Written by acclaimed British historian Peter Ackroyd, Thames is
all about the river at the center of the UK's history and culture.
Accounts of its natural origins, wildlife, artifacts, local tribal
history, worship, etc. are balanced with the various historical
personages whose lives became involved with the river. The book achieves
a good balance between different topics and manages to stay very
readable.
