Salar the Salmon`s migration through the rivers of Devon
- surviving porpoises, seals, nets, fishermen, otters, poachers & weirs
- is one of nature`s great journeys. Intense, brilliantly imagined, the salmon`s perilous return leaves us with a vivid, unsentimental picture of how both people & wildlife rely on a river & its estuary. ”A rare & beautiful book that should take its place as a classic among the few that are written at once with a poet`s insight & a naturalist`s knowledge.”-The New York Times. First published 1935 by Faber & Faber.
