Prompted by daily wanderings along this ever‑changing edge of land and sea, Jean Sprackland reflects on the treasures and oddities uncovered by the tide — from mermaid’s purses, lugworms and sea potatoes to messages in bottles, buried relics, beached whales and the perfect cup from a Cunard liner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"1168\"\u003eMore than a simple nature diary, this book is a meditation on loss, discovery and transformation, exploring what is found, what is forgotten and how the constant dance of flotsam and jetsam mirrors our own relationship with the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53345686028627,"sku":"3514 ev","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/9780099532439.jpg?v=1774554535","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/strands-a-year-of-discoveries-on-the-beach-jean-sprackland","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
