The History of The Regent's Canal Recalled is both factual and personal. Camden based author Fiona Hutton writes about her personal recollections of childhood experiences on London's Regent's Canal and includes historical aspects of the famous stretch of water familiar to anyone who has visited, for example, Camden Lock. She aims to give an insight into how life was on the canal from the perspective of a child. She compares how life was in the past and how it is today.
