'A sea breeze wafts up from every page. This book is a delight.' -
Nigel Slater Both grounding and uplifting, From Coast & Cove,
the new book from author and acclaimed illustrator Anna Koska,
walks us through the four seasons on the English coast. Beautifully
observed, contemplative and deeply personal, Anna combines emotive
and evocative tales of life beside the sea with her exquisitely
detailed and intricate illustrations of the plants and wildlife
found in the water and along the coastline. Anna and her family
moved from East Sussex to Devon in 2020 and she now finds
inspiration for her artworks in the ebb and flow of the tide
throughout the year, the flotsam and jetsam washed up on the shore
and the creatures spotted in the air, on land and tucked away in
rockpools - whether it's the haunting cry of the curlew heard while
kayaking along the River Dart, the iridescent scales and pointed
teeth of a hake, the mussel shells discarded by an oystercatcher,
or the kelp, wrack and eelgrass strewn along the beach and pressed
for posterity. A love letter to the natural world captured in
materials ranging from pencil, pen and ink, watercolour and egg
tempera, From Coast & Cove details an artist's year spent
beside the sea. A book to savour, and a wonderful celebration of
nature's cycles and minutiae.
