About this product

Product Information

Why do we pick up pebbles on the beach? What is it we see in them, and why do we take them home to display on our shelves? Is it their inherent beauty, their infinite variation, or simply their associations with a happy time and place? In this book - part social history and part practical guide - writer and pebble collector Christopher Stocks unearths the sometimes surprising story of our love-affair with pebbles, and considers how the way we see them today has been influenced over the years by artists, authors and even archaeologists. Printmaker Angie Lewin is widely admired for her alluringly stylish images of the natural world. She celebrates the experience of walking and sketching along the British coastline, often incorporating pebbles in her limited edition prints and paintings. Many of these feature in the book alongside a series of new images.

Lovely narrative about pebbles and people who like the, plus amazing linocut and watercolour pictures too
lovely text that is inspiring and conjures up images in my head about the beaches I have been to and the pebbles I've enjoyed. Also beautiful pictures too. Highly recommended as an easy to read and relaxing wee book.
