Why do we pick up pebbles on the beach? What is it we see in them,
and why do we take them home to display on our shelves? Is it their
inherent beauty, their infinite variation, or simply their
associations with a happy time and place? In this book - part
social history and part practical guide - writer and pebble
collector Christopher Stocks unearths the sometimes surprising
story of our love-affair with pebbles, and considers how the way we
see them today has been influenced over the years by artists,
authors and even archaeologists. Printmaker Angie Lewin is widely
admired for her alluringly stylish images of the natural world. She
celebrates the experience of walking and sketching along the
British coastline, often incorporating pebbles in her limited
edition prints and paintings. Many of these feature in the book
alongside a series of new images.
