Little is known of the village, not least as it remained buried until the late nineteenth century

St Michael’s Mount in Cornwall, where a submerged forest lies beneath the low-tide sands. The trees are 4000-6000 years old and the island’s old Cornish name - Karrek Loos yn Koos - means the ‘Grey Rock in the Wood’.

Lost to the Sea is out today! For anyone wondering where I went over the years I've been quiet on here, this is a ‘ghost map’ from the book. The paler text shows places lost to the sea and drifting sand, both real and in legend.

Out this week (@johnmurrays), @WoollettLisa's 'Lost to the Sea' explores where mythology & reality meet on Britain & Ireland's margins. Its author has an eye for detail, finds @teabolton — & for the strange, the inexplicable, the funny & the unforgettable caughtbytheriver.net/2024/05…

Gorgeously written and perpetually fascinating, LOST TO THE SEA by @WoollettLisa is such a rich and rewarding book. Out on May 9th from @johnmurrays, it’s an absolute beauty and no mistake.
Typeset pages for Lost to the Sea, along with a few sea things picked up along the way – in places that once were land. It’s due out in May and the first time it really feels like a book. Going on last time, it’s also when it becomes something of an emotional rollercoaster.
Beautiful Fan Weed, a little battered by Storm Antoni. I started collecting these seaweeds for a small, graphic idea for my book due out in spring - but it's been fairly addictive.

BOOKS FOR SCHOOLS. I am restarting this project. Any state school may apply to me for money to buy not text books but reading books for school & classroom libraries. I will set up a dedicated email address and make it public on here soon. Please RT/pass on.
Today is the 26th anniversary of the Great Lego Spill and this is an excellent book about it
