A Year in Water
Beth McDonough
Illustrated by Grace Gubbins
Organised around a calendar year, A Year in Water combines quietly humorous and observant prose, inspirational advice, lucid poetry, and waterside recipes.
Celebrating the challenges and joys of outdoor swimming, Beth McDonough takes the reader through all the seasons of the year, and into the UK’s wild, and more tamed, waters, inspiring with practical hints, tips, and advice along the way.
With evocative and visceral poems, the reader is placed knee-deep in rivers, lochs and seas – without having to get their feet wet.
Illustrated throughout by artist Grace Gubbins, A Year in Water is an informative, charming and nourishing gift for wild swimmers everywhere.
Neil M. Gunn
Neil Miller Gunn was born and brought up in Caithness, in the far north of Scotland, and continued to think and write about that part of the world, and to draw from it, and from the Highland landscape in general, for his entire writing life.
At the time of the publication of his many award wining novels, stories and essays, he was regarded as one of the most important modernist writers working in Great Britain – with a reputation that resonated throughout Scotland and the world through the early to mid twentieth century and beyond.
This new selection of his republished work brings back the work of one of Scotland's most influential and international authors.
