Together with his wife, Derek Tangye created a refuge at Minack, a cottage surrounded by 20 ruggedly beautiful acres on a Cornish cliff. This is the 17th book in his series about their experiences. It is both a celebration of the beauties of Cornwall and a tribute to his wife, who died in 1986. Since her death, the author has lived at Minack alone, welcoming visitors eager to see for themselves the haven described in "The Minack Chronicles". It was Jeannie Tangye's wish to preserve Minack for future generations to enjoy, and in this book her husband describes his efforts to fulfill that wish, while struggling to cope with bereavement and loneliness.
