Reading on the River
Rivers: they run through caverns measureless to man, they just keep rollin' along and wherever they're going, we're going their way. Those dynamic ribbons of water have provided inspiration to many a writer, so here's a selection of fluvial fiction and non-fiction. Witness the last days of an idyllic river valley in Haweswater, discover the mixed blessings of a riverfront location in A House by the Thames or let Agatha Christie entertain you with a good, old-fashioned Death on the Nile.
