  L.T.C. Rolt's fame rests on the fact that he was unique in producing works of literature from subject matter which had not before been considered the stuff of literature - engineering, canals, railways, steam engines, agricultural machinery and vintage cars - as demonstrated in his biographies of Brunel, Telford, Trevithick and the Stephensons. This work takes up the story from In Landscape with Machines . It tells of voyages through the secret green water-lanes of England and Wales, and of the beginning of his writing career with the publication of his book Narrow Boat .
