Under Water to Get Out of the Rain
| Now only £10.99 (inc. postage). Hardback.
Another excellent book from this popular author. In this, his latest book, funny and sad stories are woven into a seductive mix of travel, autobiography, history and marine biology. Unlikely topics blend seamlessly in chapters devoted to football and drowning, sardines and Scarlatti, Kalashnikovs and the Queen of Sheba. Above all it is a poetic evocation of magical shores as they once were and a reflection on what they may become. Excursions to the seaside will never be the same again.
