From her twin sources on Dartmoor,down through the lowlands of Devon on her lovely way to the sea,Dart is one of the fairest and most interesting of rivers.She has attracted the poet and the novelist,but it is surprising that never before has a whole book been devoted to her.
The Devon river's scenery,history,and romance have provided Ruth Manning-Sanders with richness of material; 'The River Dart',like R.A.J. Walling's 'The Story of Plymouth',will undoubtedly rank as the standard work on its subject for many years to come.
Illustrated with 29 original photographs and engravings of rare prints.With endpaper maps of Moorland and Tidal Dart by Richard Cribb,and a comprehensive index.The jacket design is by Winslade.
