Publisher's Summary
Essex is edged with mudflats and saltmarsh, marginal spaces that are neither sea nor land. That sense of an unclear boundary is a recurring theme in this exploration of maritime history, in which creatures half-fish and half-animal were thought to haunt the oceans, and the bed of the North Sea was once an inhabited country.
Narrated by the author, this unusual book takes you on a glorious and unpredictable journey from prehistory through to the end of the great days of sail, when the railways and the diesel engine changed the world forever.
