He visits all the towns and villages along the river, from Oxfordshire to London, and describes the magnificent royal residences, as well as the bridges and docks, locks and weirs, found along its 215-mile run. The Thames as a source of artistic inspiration comes brilliantly to life as Ackroyd invokes Chaucer, Shakespeare, Turner, Shelley, and other writers, poets, and painters who have been enchanted by its many moods and colors.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 942.2 Ac Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.2 Ac Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.2 Ac Checked In Add Copy to MyList
