Originally published in 1961, Shell Life on the Seashore is an amateur beachcombing classic. This newly reissued and updated edition includes a new foreword by Philip Hoare and an illustrated fold-out guide to identifying shells on the reverse of the book jacket.
A delightful, informative guide that uncovers the secret history of each common sea shell, revealing not only which marine creature once inhabited it, but also the unique challenges of the watery habitat it had to solve.
