River Keeper: The Life of William James Lunn by John Waller Hills is a biographical account of the life of William James Lunn, a legendary river keeper who spent his life working on the rivers of England. The book provides a detailed exploration of Lunn's life, from his early years growing up on the banks of the River Test, to his experiences as a young apprentice on the river, and his eventual rise to become one of the most respected river keepers in the country.Through a combination of personal anecdotes, historical research, and interviews with those who knew Lunn best, Hills paints a vivid picture of a man who was deeply passionate about his work and dedicated to the preservation of the rivers he loved. The book explores Lunn's unique approach to river keeping, which involved a deep understanding of the natural rhythms of the river and a commitment to working in harmony with the environment.In addition to providing a fascinating glimpse into the life of a river keeper, River Keeper also offers readers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the English countryside. From the ancient traditions of fly fishing to the changing landscape of rural England, Hills provides a nuanced and insightful look at the world that Lunn inhabited.Overall, River Keeper is a beautifully written and deeply engaging book that will appeal to anyone with an interest in the natural world, rural history, or the lives of those who work in harmony with the land.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
