Hilaire Belloc The Historic Thames, Hills and the Sea

Note also, the delectable Waltoniana: Inedited REmains in Verse and Prose of Isaak Walton

Would that be The Lodger that was the basis for first the silent movie and then the talkie with Ivor Novello (referenced in Gosford Park)? If so, cool!

Dear Mrs. Darwin,

I don't know the details, but it has been made into a movie at least three times. I thought Alfred Hitchcock directed one of them long about 1926-1927, and there's been a more recent (and I'm sure gruesome) adaptation.

I don't think the Hitchcock version was silent, so that may be the missing third.

shalom,

Steven

Excellent finds, thank you for sharing.
