The Lock Keepers Daughter, author Pat Warner ISBN1858580757
This is the poignant story of a man who lost his wife and almost all of his children. His youngest daughter describes her childhood and their life together. He working as a canal lock keeper whilst being both father and mother. A joint biography of him as a provider and her reliving all of her adolecent years. This is a story of their shared privations living in an isolated lock keepers cottage, with no electricity, sewerage or running water. A story told by a first time author with obvious love and admiration of her father. Written from fond memories a simple story, simply told and a very good read.

Excellent compelling reading about the hardship, way of life and comradery on the canals in the 1920's.
This book inspired me to get Narrow Boat.

I am a bit biased as the author is a relative but it is still a good read
