"Reading this book one dark, winter's day. I escaped to the pleasures of life afloat ..." Waterways World.
" ... one of the easiest and most enjoyable "waterway" books I have read for some time ..." Canal and Riverboat.
"I retired early, quick read of Tone's book, then a good night's sleep! Next time I looked at my watch, it was 3.30 a.m!" Trevor N/b. "Double Vision."
"I just could not put it down. It was well weird!" "Ollie." N/b. "Pallas Athene."
Just some of the praise recorded about boatman Tony Lewis's first book, "Athene"; Anatomy of a Dream. This is the eagerly awaited sequel!
ATHENE: The Odyssey Continues, picks up where the previous book left off, with the pair moored at Lichfield. It follows them through two more excitement packed, year-long cruises around England's Waterways.
The quirky style remains the same, new canals are explored and a rich fund of witty anecdotes flow from the author's exuberant pen. The telling quip!, the passionate aside!, the fraught experience!, are all recounted with the intimacy of a fireside chat. A rich vein of humour pulses through its pages but the writer never shrinks from making serious, heartfelt comments if he is so moved!
"Anatomy" must have been a hard act to follow for a new writer but "Odyssey" picks up the torch and carries the genre to new heights!
