Description: Cocker spaniel by his side Gareth E. Rees wanders the marshes of Hackney Leyton and Walthamstow avoiding his family and the pressures of life. He discovers a lost world of Victorian filter plants ancient grazing lands dead toy factories and tidal rivers on the edgelands of a rapidly changing city. As strange tales of bears crocodiles magic narrowboats and apocalyptic tribes begin to manifest Rees embarks on a psychedelic journey across time and into the dark heart of London itself. First published by Influx Press in 2013, Marshland is a deep map of the east London marshes where nothing it as it seems blending local history folklore and weird fiction in a genre - straddling classic of contemporary place writing. This fully revised and expanded 2024 edition features brand - new material and never before - seen photographs from the author's archive.
