By 1955 Sally and John Seymour had both seen a number of countries
but practically nothing of their own. As for some years they had
lived in a 34-ton Dutch sailing yacht they decided to dispel their
ignorance of England by travelling round as much of it as they had
time for in this vessel. Sailing Through England is an account of
that voyage. Setting out from Portsmouth the Seymours would
navigate the rivers and canals of East Anglia, the Midlands and the
North, penetrating as far inland as Leeds and Bradford, finally
crossing the country by a canal climbing right over the Pennine
chain to Liverpool and the Irish Sea. Their account is both a vivid
panorama of England's contrasts and a fascinating exploration of a
navigational challenge, and along the way a wealth of real-life
characters are encountered and brilliantly described on the page,
accompanied by Sally Seymour's delightful drawings.
