Marc Harris – författare

It’s easy to lose all sense of time in such beautiful surroundings, as poet and nature-lover Marc Harris found during a cycling and walking odyssey across southern Cornwall in the summer of 2012. In Cornish Time, Marc relates his often gruelling but always spectacular journey across Cornwall, from the rugged cliffs of the Lizard Peninsula, to the incredible Lost Gardens of Heligan, to the lovely town of Fowey.  In addition, a guide to some of Cornwall’s best tourist attractions and towns is also included, to help you discover some Cornish time for yourself in this beautiful county.

Marc Harris was born in Cardiff, Wales, the United Kingdom, in 1962. Marc has previously written four books and a poetry pamphlet. The natural world has always been a wonder to him, and the themes of nature and the environment always feature strongly in his books. His previous books include Wild and Uncanny Tales – a tribute to the Gothic horror tradition, South and West Wales: Its Wildlife, People and Places, Wild Tales and Rural Rides, a poetry book – Rhythms of Nature, and the poetry pamphlet Sentience.  Marc has also written for magazines such as The Countryman, Explore England, and This England. A lover of cycling, he has cycled thousands of miles in his lifetime, often in pursuit of his fascination with nature and wild places. He now lives with his two rescue cats, in a house in Dinas Powys, in the Vale of Glamorgan. His cats keep him constantly entertained and are wonderful companions which he adores.   ***  What Did You Think of Cornish Time? A big thank you for purchasing this book.

A young girl waits on a storm-tossed beach for a mother lost at sea. A ferryman guides strange passengers to a village in ruins. Spirits lurk in a sunken warship to protect the creatures below. And high in a clock tower, two peregrines roost.  This is a world both familiar and strange, a landscape beautiful and wild, where history hangs heavy and tragedy has left its mark. Where spectral guardians walk and ancient spirits rule the woods, and where the rivers keep their secrets.Combining a love of the natural world and the gothic, Marc Harris has crafted a collection of short stories and poetry that brings a haunted Britain to life.
