Description

The cover illustration, which depicts a river with a swimming moose and three people, one swimming and two in a canoe, seems to go with some other book. The same illustration was used for a Collins printing of "The cruise of the Midge" by Michael Scott, where it was also a mismatch with the subject matter of the book. It's unclear what book it was originally intended for.
