Journey To The Sea

Before you yawn "Not another celebrity author anthology" let us assure you this one is definitely worth a second glance ... it works on many levels, exploring relationships with the sea as well as covering a range of writing styles that manage to both please and challenge in the most rewarding way

The collection is a joy to read...A great read for sea-thirsty travellers

Don't just buy this as an act of charity - it's a great read

A whole range of emotions are evoked as you read and are led to contemplate your own memories of the sea

Whether it is memories of childhood holidays or exotic fantasies of faraway places, a sea and its coast forms the most evocative of landscapes. Combining elements of romance, danger and mystery, it provides the perfect inspiration for this unique collection. The finest writers from our water-bound nation, including Alexander McCall Smith, Ruth Rendell, Joanne Harris, Joseph O'Connor and Libby Purvis, give us their accounts of adventures and chance encounters, short stories and non-fiction pieces representing the many facets of the sea's power that will haunt and inspire. The collection also includes gripping accounts of real-life adventures on the ocean from such experienced sailors as Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, First Sea Lord Admiral Sir Alan West and Tracy Edwards. 
 
A literary tribute to the last earthly frontier - the ocean.

A collection of new travel writing and short stories on the theme of the sea from some of Britain's finest writers
