Produktinformationen zu „A Girl At The Tiller (ePub)“
In this sequel to A Boy Off The Bank, second book in the Michael Baker series, the familiar characters of Michael and Ginny, Alby Baker and the other boating families continue plying their trade in peacetime Britain, despite the deteriorating state of the canals. And new faces appear, one of whom will have a greater impact on the crew of the Sycamore and the Antrim than they could guess. A story of joy and tragedy, with an accurate historical background:
With the coming of peace in 1945, life on England's canals seems fit to return to its steady pre-war pattern; but change is on the way. Nationalisation brings hope of new investment and maintenance for the canals, but before that can happen, the big freeze of the winter of 1947 strikes...

Autoren-Porträt von Geoffrey Lewis
Geoffrey Lewis was born in Oxford, in 1947, and educated at the City's High School and Hatfield University (then a polytechnic). He has since followed a varied career, including spells as a research chemist, security guard and professional photographer. After many years in the motor trade, and eight years as the owner and captain of a canal-based passenger boat, he is now retired and concentrating upon writing.After a childhood spent close to the Oxford Canal, his love of the waterways led him to live aboard a narrowboat on the Grand Union Canal for sixteen years. Now back on dry land, he lives in Milton Keynes, not far from the canal, and recently took on the duties of Captain on the historic pair Nutfield and Raymond which are to be seen at many waterways events through year.
He has been writing seriously since the late 1990s, and has a number of novels in print. He is also a regular contributor to Classic American Magazine.
Photographer, bell-ringer, real ale drinker and American car enthusiast, he is currently engaged upon a number of new writing projects, including a children's fantasy adventure trilogy after the style of Tolkein, of which Thunderchild is the first volume; and of course more stories set in the working days of England's canals!
