ANNALS OF A FISHING VILLAGE, 



EDITED BY J. A. OWEX. 

 With Seven Full-page Illustrations, crown 8vo, 7s. 6d. 



" It is altogether a pleasant and delightful book, and as we read we almost 

 seem to feel the gale coming in over the flats and the piping and screaming of 

 the winged visitors to marsh and shore." Graphic. 



"No one who takes up the story of 'Den's' delightful life, and has been 

 introduced to ' Scoot' and 'Winder,' to 'Titlark' and 'Genus,' will put the 

 book down again until they have with much regret finished its last page." 

 Guardian. 



" The style of the book is poetic, with a melancholy refrain running through 

 its chapters which admirably suits the bare flats, plunging seas, and misty 

 horizons of the little village. The tender, sympathetic nature of the young 

 naturalist emerges in every page, while his insight into nature is remarkable. " 

 Athenaeum. 



" This work is nothing less than fascinating." Spectator. 



'*The annals unfolded in this volume belong to a locality which, with native 

 characteristics, full of quaint simplicity and old-world ideas, is scarcely known 



to the outside world The descriptions are vivid and graphic, and present 



an interest of many kinds which every reader will be certain to feel keenly." 

 Morning Post. 



"The book will introduce most of its readers into a new world, full of 

 various interest, and rich in studies of character as well as glimpses of 

 nature." London Quarterly Review. 



"As readable and enjoyable a little book as it is possible to imagine." 

 North British Daily Mail. 



"The chapters have a touch of Frank Buckland's fund of amusement in 



them. Earnestness, curiosity, wonder, and drollery are intermingled 



Succeeding generations will wonder and reap delight in the study of such 

 books as the ' Annals of a Fishing Village.' "Daily Chronicle.
