Discover The Channel Islands with Marco Polo! This compact, straightforward guide is clearly structured for ease of use. It gets you right to the heart of the destination, & provides you with all the latest information & lots of Insider Tips for a thrilling Channel Island adventure. ...

The English Channel is the busiest waterway in the world. Ferries steam back & forth, trains thunder through the tunnel. The narrow sea has been crucial to our development & prosperity. It helps define our notion of Englishness, as an island people, a nation of seafarers. It is also our nearest, dearest playground where people have sought sun, sin & bracing breezes.

Tom Fort takes us on a fascinating, discursive journey from east to west, to find out what this stretch of water means to us & what is so special about the English seaside, that edge between land & seawater. He dips his toe into Sandgate's waters, takes the air in Hastings & Bexhill, chews whelks in Brighton, builds a sandcastle in Sandbanks, sunbathes in sunny Sidmouth, catches prawns off the slipway at Salcombe & hunts a shark off Looe.

Stories of smugglers & shipwreck robbers, of beachcombers & samphire gatherers, gold diggers & fossil hunters abound.

What happens when a life implodes? When a respected older man, a product of the liberated 1970s, is incapable of cleaning up his act for the twenty-first century? When he pursues sex with a rabidity his body & his reputation can no longer sustain? In this collection, which features two new, previously unpublished stories, Edmund White explores different aspects of ageing, romance & sex. Taking an unsparing look at gay midlife, these stories are not fiction devoted to the dim splendours & miseries of the past but rather to the unsettling, irresistible claims of the present. Age remains one of the great taboos of gay culture, but Edmund White, as iconoclastic as ever, writes about maturity with the same precision & insight he brought to adolescence in A Boy's Own Story. Edmund White has always been the ideal travelling companion, as he demonstrated in The Flaneur; here, he invites the reader to accompany him to Florida, the Greek Isles, & Turkey
- & into the chaotic gay demimonde of contemporary New York.
