4 out of 5 stars The birth of the Maxwell dream   April 4, 2001
 13 out of 14 found this review helpful

Maxwell's description of a life now gone forever by the political situation in southern Iraq. This book reads as perhaps, a little warmer than the 'bright water' series. His affinity with the Marsh Arabs shines throught as does his respect of their traditions. Written more than 40 years ago, there is little hint of the troubles to come for the region. Indeed, Maxwell hints that the biggest threat would be general encroahment by the 20th century, if obnly he had known. The book is notable for introducing the reader to the subject that came to dominate Maxwell's life and thus enrapture millions - otters. The book is a must for fans of Maxwell's writing and is an invaluable prequel to "Ring Of Bright Water".
