Two Men in a Boat Rowing Two Rivers by Martin Andrew
Travel writer and architectural historian Martin Andrew sets out with a lifelong friend to recreate Horatio Hornblower's escape from Napoleon in a rowing boat in 1811, as told in CS Forester's Flying Colours. From a practice run down the Severn to birdlife and Romanesque architecture along the Loire, an itinerant tale of picaresque goings-on.
Martin Andrew is a travel writer and architectural historian who trained at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London in the 1970s. For twenty years he taught for the university of London's Extra-Mural Department and for Oxford's Department for External Studies while pursuing a career in heritage conservation with four local authorities. In 2008 he set up a heritage and outdoor writing consultancy and he now has over fifty books to his name, ranging from Discovering the English Lowlands (1991) to Roaming Midsomer (2016) with Buckinghamshire Privies (1998) and Collins Ramblers Guide: Chilterns and Ridgway (2001) and many others in between.
