His new book, Tales from the Tillerman, is a tribute to Britains canals, rivers, and countryside and a celebration of Britishness in all its eccentric glory. It recounts his many hair-raising escapades and reflects on how the country and the cruising landscape have changed in fifty years. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304 pages\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 02 September 2021\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteve Haywood's travel tales on Britain's canals and rivers have amassed a devoted following. His earlier works, such as Narrowboat Dreams, One Man and a Narrowboat, Too Narrow to Swing a Cat, and Narrowboat Nomads, have all been well-received by those who enjoy a narrowboat narrative delivered in Steve's witty, charming manner. Tales from the Tillerman is Steve's homage to Britain's canals, rivers, and countryside, as well as a celebration of Britishness in all its quirky splendor. Unlike his earlier works, which each focused on a single journey, Tales from the Tillerman is casting a wider net and drawing from his fifty years of experience, recounting the many hair-raising escapades he has had up and down the country and reflecting on how the country and the cruising landscape have changed over those fifty years. There are plenty of anecdotes and light-hearted rants, mixed with some tall tales and a dash of nostalgia, in Tales from the Tillerman, which will thoroughly entertain a middle-aged man (oh, go on then, an old one) as he reflects on his long love affair with boats and waterways, contemplating their importance to his life and how they have changed it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 466g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 169 x 233 x 26 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781472977007\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steve Haywood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094130651386,"sku":"9781472977007","price":10.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/d844e6edb54a48d2f7b942c97527a975.jpg?v=1633055847","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/tales-from-the-tillerman-a-life-long-love-affair-with-britains-waterways","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
