British Inland Waterways A collection of works on and relating to the inland waterways of Britain. These include on uses and problems of canals, novels and stories like William Black's Strange Adventures of a House-Boat (1893) and even canoeing in William Bliss' 1934 guide to the same. These twenty-two works include important sources such as De Salis' Bradshaw's Canals (1904, possibly later map at rear), George Westall's Inland Cruising (1908), pleasant reflections, such as Austin Neal's Canals, Cruises and Contentment, adventuresome yarns like Emma Smith's Maidens' Trip (1948), intriguing ephemeral items such as Shirley Ginger's Simple Steps to Roses and Castles and Ken Keay's Canal Colours and even books on crossing Ireland and Europe.
