Coast – Our Island Story, Nicholas Crane
Coast is a definitive narrative of Nicholas Crane’s journey of discovery around the edges of Britain and Ireland and the culmination of five years presenting the BBC’s successful series. On a journey of exploration, Crane describes how we discovered and embraced our coastline – the key to our island identity.

Description

From the shining cliffs that the dinosaurs would have seen to the modern estuaries teeming with wildlife, from Stone Age fishermen, via smugglers’ caves, to modern day surfers and sandcastle builders – everyone who has lived, worked and played on Britain and Ireland’s coastline forms part of its evolving tale. A fusion of history, geography, adventure and biography, Coast explains why the edge of our little earth means so much to us.
