Description
Time and Tide: The Long, Long Life of Landscape
Fiona Stafford's fascinating exploration of Britain's landscapes reveals the forces that transform places. From coastlines to forests, fens to fields, Stafford follows in the footsteps of literary giants like Burns and Keats, Celia Fiennes and Charles Dickens, William and Dorothy Wordsworth, Noel Coward and Compton Mackenzie.
Along the way, she uncovers chance discoveries of rare species, shipwrecks, and unlikely ruins, as well as curious trees, startling towers, weird caves, and disused airfields. With each chapter, Stafford weaves together local history, literary connections, and her own family stories to create a rich tapestry of the past.
