Description
The Swimmer: The Wild Life of Roger Deakin by Patrick Barkham This is a unique and joyful work of creative biography that brings to life the remarkable story of Roger Deakin, author of cult classics Waterlog and Wildwood. Through a treasure trove of notebooks, diaries, letters, and recordings, Patrick Barkham reveals Deakin's multifaceted personality, from his days as an ad-man to his passion for environmentalism and music. Deakin was a man of many passions, but above all, he was the restorer of ancient Walnut Tree Farm in Suffolk, where he found inspiration for his writing. This book is a testament to his love of nature, told primarily through Deakin's own words, with support from those who knew him best.
