From the wild coast of Lancashire to the endless skies of the Fens, Tales from the Tillerman is a tribute to Britain's canals, rivers and countryside and a celebration of Britishness in all its eccentric glory. Steve Haywood draws from fifty years of experience, recounting his many hair-raising escapades and encounters on the inland waterways and reflecting on how the country and the cruising landscape has changed in his trademark witty, charming style. Be prepared for entertaining anecdotes, light-hearted rants, tall tales and a smattering of the nostalgic as a middle-aged man (oh, go on then, an old one) reflects on his long love affair with boats and waterways, contemplating their importance to his life and how they've changed it.
