«A beautifully produced book... There is so much to enjoy here»
Gillian Tindall, Sunday Telegraph

«Wonderful. He is comprehensive - everything from mammoths to the Dome is here - but he is also playful and eccentric, so that reading this book is like being in a boat on the river itself... Peter Ackroyd's writing is such a pleasure that Thames: Sacred River can be read all at once, with increasing delight, and afterwards dipped into, like stretches of the great waterway it charts and celebrates»
Jeanette Winterson, Financial Times
