We’re using the first novel in this cult series to navigate a route along the Thames tracking down various locations where detective Peter Grant encounters river nymphs, trolls and Old Father Thames. We start at the alleged source of the Thames, take in an ancient and important site at Runnymede, fail to swim in the Oxley River and end up at the Hammerton Ferry – an unusual place for fictional river spirits to decide to have a massive fight.  Get early access to new episodes and bonus content Hosted on Acast.
