British coastal holidays are unlike any other in the world with unpredictable weather, vast tidal range, dramatic cliffs and chilly water temperatures. Nevertheless, the seasoned holidaymakers know how to make the most of it. From packing Wellington boots and thermos to defending a box of fish and chips from seagulls, the book has it all covered.

Through informative poetic narratives Lande Jewels delves into the nature's forces that cause diurnal tides, explores the processes that formed the Cliffs of Dover and preserved fossils in Jurassic Coast and Viking Trail. Lighheartedly, one learns about the origins of Flake 99 ice cream, donkey rides, puppet show, stick of rock, Victorian bathing machines and fairground amusements of Brighton and Blackpool pleasure piers. If you are looking to make sense of islanders' traditional seaside breaks, look no further.

Accompanied by artful illustrations and personal prologue, this handy companion will be loved by singles and families alike across all ages and means.

'Seaside' forms part of the London Baby Series, yet can be read as a standalone title.
