Waterlog, which was first published in 1999, became a word-of-mouth bestseller, and is now an established classic of the nature writing canon.

Trade Review
I jumped in with both feet and wanted to stay for more.
Erudite, funky and passionate, a total delight * Independent on Sunday *
Charmingly and elegantly written * Daily Telegraph *
A delicious, cleansing, funny, wise and joyful book, so wonderfully full of energy and life. I loved it
Highly entertaining...Waterlog is a book about a cold, wet subject written with a warmth and passion it surely deserves, but has rarely had before * Guardian *
