<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A complete historical chronicle of living afloat on Britain's waterways<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>For centuries, living afloat on Britain's waterways has been a rich part of the fabric of our social history, from the fisher-folk of ancient Britain to the bohemian houseboat dwellers of the 1950s and beyond. Yet remarkably a complete history of the houseboat has never been written. In this fascinating chronicle, Julian Dutton - who was born and grew up on a houseboat - traces the evolution of boat-dwelling from an industrial phenomenon in the heyday of the canals to the rise of life afloat as an alternative lifestyle in post-war Britain. Drawing from diaries and personal accounts, Water Gypsies is both a vivid narrative of a unique way of life, and a valuable addition to social history.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Julian Dutton was born and grew up on a Chelsea houseboat.
