Under Water To Get Out
Of The Rain
£6.99
This is the beautifully told tale of Norton`s growing love of the sea, from family holidays in Whitley Bay as a boy, to his first over zealous attempts at diving. All that we know & love of the British seaside weaves throughout this funny, nostalgic & richly told memoir. Fortune telling gypsies found on crumbling promenades, lighthouses standing to attention, fishing villages giving way to arcades & brass bands & s&-playing in the bracing chill of a British summer. Throughout, Norton introduces us to a eclectic mix of sea-loving characters all of whom have helped to inform & shape his own journey to becoming a marine biologist. Like the early guides to the seashore by the Naturalist Philip Henry Gosse as much a part of the myth & history of the British coastline as fishermen`s tales of mermaids & eerie monsters beneath the waves. This is both a history & a memoir of an enduring, if at times perplexing, love of the sea that won`t fail to resonate with all who have felt the pull of the shores. ...
