I can't think of many other books based around canal-life. Simenon based a story around it in his 'Maigret Meets a Milord' (reissued as 'Lock 14'). He had spent a few years living aboard a canal boat and wrote about it with some authority. For those with the taste for it this is a satisfying story, with one proviso. Cornish makes no concessions to readers with no acquaintance with the terminology, or some sense of how canal boats and locks work. So the first-time reader is advised to have a reference work ready, or (if they can find it) read Cornish's 'Troubled Waters' first. ( )
