A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'One thing you never get in a Kavanagh cartoon is a blank face. His variety of facial expressions, ranging from panic-stricken wives to grinning spectators, from horrified lockkeepers to determined skippers, are a treat.'
--Nautical Magazine (January 2010)

'Open it at any page and you are guaranteed a chuckle; it is a fun book from beginning to end'
--Sailing Magazine (February 2010)

'An ideal bunk-side book, or for home by a roaring fire in winter.' --The Little Ship, Summer, 2010

'The Ups and Downs od a Lock Keeper is now in its seventh reprint and takes a lighthearted look at the work of a lock keeper, whether on a pretty canal or by a huge automated seel gates.' --Thames Guardina Magazine, Winter, 2010

Présentation de l'éditeur

A light-hearted look at the lock-keeper's job, be it a rural little lock on the canals, or an ultra-modern affair at a huge marina. Jake Kavanagh presents a humorous survey, using his inimitable cartoons and anecdotes, of the scrapes people get into when trying to use locks. He focuses on notable events like the Henley Regatta which afford many opportunities for horrors to unfold. Readers have enjoyed Jake's tales for decades; this is the perfect book for his devotees. 'Do not read this book while edging your 52ft hired narrow boat towards an impossibly small lock. It would seriously damage shipping.' Southern Evening Echo 'Excellent reading whilst queuing for those over-busy Thames locks on a summer weekend.' Waterways World
