Description
The Pebbles on the Beach, first published in 1954, is a charming guide to the simple pleasure of pebble spotting. This newly reissued edition includes a foreword by Robert Macfarlane and a handy illustrated guide to identifying pebbles on the reverse of the book jacket.
Pebble-hunting is a pleasant hobby that makes little demand upon one's patience and physical energy. A true delight of the pebble-seeker is to read the stories in the stones, determining whence and by what means they came to be there. A pebble is a transient thing, in the half-way stage of a long existence.
This book will help you understand the humble pebble, making a trip to the beach, lake-side or river bank simply more fascinating. With guidance on how pebbles are formed, how to identify individual stones, and tips on the necessary kit, you'll become proficient in distinguishing between natural and artificial stones.
