Caroline Crampton is a writer and editor who contributes regularly to the Guardian, the Mail on Sunday and the New Humanist. She has appeared as a broadcaster on Newsnight, Sky News and BBC Radio 4.The Way to the Sea: The Forgotten Histories of the Thames Estuary is her first book.
One of Crampton's top ten books about the River Thames, as shared at the Guardian:
Thames: Sacred River by Peter AckroydRead about the other entries on the list.
The nearest thing there is to a comprehensive modern biography of the river, packed with fascinating titbits about its literary, artistic and religious connections down the ages. It’s particularly good on the upper reaches of the Thames before it gets to London, where medieval monasteries used to stand at every bend and pilgrims would pass by on their way to the great shrine at Canterbury.
