Abstract: Katharine Norbury was abandoned as a baby in Liverpool convent. Raised by loving adoptive parents, she grew into a wanderer, drawn by the beauty of the British countryside. Combining travelogue, exquisite nature writing, memoir, fragments of poems, and tales from Celtic mythology, The Fish Ladder has a rare emotional resonance. A portrait of motherhood, of literary marriage, and a hymn to the adoptive family, this story of self discovery is, most of all, an exploration of the extraordinary majesty of the natural world.
