Reviews
'One thing you never get in a Kavanagh cartoon is a blank face. His variety of facial expressions, ranging from panic-stricken wives to grinning spectators, from horrified lockkeepers to determined skippers, are a treat.' Nautical Magazine (January 2010) 'Open it at any page and you are guaranteed a chuckle; it is a fun book from beginning to end' Sailing Magazine (February 2010) 'An ideal bunk-side book, or for home by a roaring fire in winter.' The Little Ship Club (Summer 2010) 'The Ups and Downs od a Lock Keeper is now in its seventh reprint and takes a lighthearted look at the work of a lock keeper, whether on a pretty canal or by a huge automated seel gates.' Thames Guardian Magazine (Winter 2010)
