The Historic Thames by Hilaire Belloc
The Thames lies at the very heart of London and the south of England. This title offers a view of the river Thames in the early twentieth century. It reveals comparisons between the Thames and the Rhine, the Seine and other important European waterways to highlight the Thames' significance within British life.
Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953) is best known for his Cautionary Tales, humorous poems written for children but also relished by adults for their biting wit. But Belloc was also the author of numerous works of non-fiction including The Path to Rome, The Servile State and Europe and Faith. He served as a Liberal MP from 1906 - 1910 but subsequently became disillusioned by party politics and devoted himself to writing instead. He was married with five children.
