FROM COAST AND COVE

In this beautifully observed, contemplative and deeply personal book, author and illustrator Anna Koska walks us through four seasons on the Devon coast. She combines emotive and evocative tales of life beside the sea with exquisitely detailed and intricate illustrations of the plants and wildlife found in the water and along the coastline - the iridescent scales and pointed teeth of a hake; the mussel shells discarded by an oystercatcher; the kelp, wrack and eelgrass strewn along the beach and pressed for posterity.
