Product Description

Following his last best selling book Grey Paes & Bacon when Bob took us around the canals of the Black Country, Bob dons his boots again to explore the river that runs past his doorstep in Bridgnorth. Dancing with Sabrina takes us on a fantastic serpentine journey along a river from her source in the Welsh mountains to the Bristol Channel where she meets the sea. The Severn is England's longest river and takes her name from the Roman's given name of Sabrina, the secret love child of the ancient British King Locrine. Bob whisks us back to discover the past and meet the villains, heroes and madmen that Sabrina has been witness to across the ages. He takes us through the towns and villages that have sprung up upon her banks and reveals their ancient secrets and folklore. He samples the modern day with his refreshingly simple needs and throws light on where to go and not to go, to eat, drink and visit. For those who live in the embrace of Sabrina they will see the landscape of their home in an entirely new light and humour. For those who are new to the area Dancing with Sabrina will provide the impulse to visit and enjoy the richness of her heritage.
