Recensioner i media

‘Lisa Schneidau has an environmentalist’s eye and a storyteller’s heart, weaving together both precision and passion in this utterly engaging new collection of seafaring stories. The author has dived deep into the ocean of folktales and legends from every corner of coastal England, pulling up a treasure-hoard of shimmering stories that deserve to be shared widely. A few of the tales I was aware of, but many were brand new to me – a testament to her diligence and delight in researching the source material. As someone who lives by the sea, this feels like a book to be dipped into often and enjoyed as much as the salty sea itself.’
