Bates describes "the Ouse and the Nene, rivers which run parallel courses through Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Huntingdonshire and The Fens, and so to sea.

Chapters include; the twin rivers; a boy's brook; the first river; fish and fishermen; the flood; the frost; the second river; water flowers and water creatures; flowers of childhood; the water-mill; the lace-makers; otters and men; the rivers of England; down to the sea.
