Born in 1855, Alfred Wallis died in a workhouse in 1942. A mariner since his boyhood, he began to paint in the 1920s - strange, primitive, brilliant pictures of ships and the sea. In 1928 he was discovered in St Ives by Ben Nicholson and Christopher Wood and for the rest of his life, alone in his tiny cottage, attacked by periods of madness, he painted furiously.
In this novel Everett gives voice to this famously 'naive' artist, spinning tales of the sea and of old St Ives, capturing in words the very worlds that Wallis depicted in ship's paint on scraps of cardboard.
