Salar the Salmon's migration through the rivers of Devon - surviving porpoises, seals, nets, fishermen, otters, poachers and weirs - is one of nature's great journeys. Intense, brilliantly imagined, the salmon's perilous return leaves us with a vivid, unsentimental picture of how both people and wildlife rely on a river and its estuary. "A rare and beautiful book that should take its place as a classic among the few that are written at once with a poet's insight and a naturalist's knowledge."-The New York Times. First published 1935 by Faber & Faber.
