The Swimmer: The Wild Life of Roger Deakin - Patrick Barkham
Roger Deakin wrote the brilliant book Waterlog, a book that may be held vaguely responsible for the surge in popularity of wild swimming . . . . but don't hold this against him or against this book! Though he gained publishing fame through that book and its companion book Wildwood, Deakin was a many of many parts: variously - and sometimes simultaneously - ad-man, teacher, cider-maker, film maker and music promoter. Above all though he was the restorer of Walnut Tree Farm in Suffolk, the home and heartland that he shared with visitors and readers.
Drawing from his notebooks, diaries, letters and published work this book brings injects life into the reader's experience of Roger Deakin.
