Synopsis
The ideal beachside and cozy companion to the pebbles of the British Isles. Why are we drawn to pick up pebbles at the shore? What captivates us about them, and why do we bring them home to showcase on our shelves? Is it their innate beauty, their endless variety, or merely the fond memories they evoke? In this book a blend of social history and practical guide writer and pebble enthusiast Christopher Stocks explores the often unexpected tale of our affection for pebbles, and how our perception of them today has been shaped over time by artists, authors, and even archaeologists. Renowned printmaker Angie Lewin, known for her stylish depictions of nature, celebrates coastal walks and sketches, often incorporating pebbles into her limited edition prints and paintings, many of which are featured in the book along with new images.
