Product Information

She lives in a beautiful part of the world and gains much of her inspiration from walking her badly behaved terrier, Horace, in the Derbyshire countryside.

On your next trip to the beach, when you find yourself swimming in these treasures, be sure to utilize the lessons in this book to create something truly homemade, unique, and beautiful. She also shares some of the rarest specimens of sea glass, for some of which there are only one or two pieces known to be in existence. Kathryn Tann studied English Literature at Durham University and Creative Writing at the University of Manchester, and she now works for New Writing North as Programme and Content Producer. Beside every example is information and a little bit of history about where your treasures may have come from. As she walks the endless shorelines of her Prince Edward Island home gathering precious sea gems, she sees gifts from nature created in places of great beauty, peace, and timelessness.As the story progresses, there are flashbacks to the 1950s and at first I wondered how the two timelines were going to mesh together, but then there were plenty of moments that included sea glass to thread them together beautifully.

It tells about the different pieces of glass and antique shards you are likely to find on the beach along with the regular broken bottle pieces.
