Nadder, by Rex Sawyer

The River Nadder in Wiltshire rises in the Donheads, east of Shaftesbury, and flows through the Vale of Wardour to Wilton, where it joins the Wylye and then, at Salisbury, the Avon. This remarkable social and landscape history, beautifully illustrated, presents the story of every village and settlement in its valley, drawn from historical sources and oral reminiscence, and lovingly presented by the author of Little Imber on the Down, and Collett’s Farthing Newspaper. First published in 1995, Rex Sawyer revised Nadder in 2006, and it was published in a new format and with many extra illustrations. Long unavailable, this print-on-demand reprint will make it accessible to a new generation of readers. 2018, vi, 228pp, illustrations, square-format paperback, £14.95, ISBN 978-0-946418-53-5
