A BOY OFF THE BANK

by Geoffrey Lewis

For his sixth novel, Geoffrey Lewis stays with the world of England's canals which formed the background of his last book, 'Starlight'. Venture back in time, to the years of the Second World War...

A tale of Britain's canal system in wartime. The story is set on boats operated by Fellows, Morton and Clayton Ltd, a real company, who were England's biggest independent canal carrying company through the first half of the twentieth century. To anyone familiar with our waterways, all the locations which appear in the story will be recognisable; the trade the boats are following, too, is based entirely upon fact researched diligently by the author.

'Accurately drawn...from his own wide experience'
