Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book paints a vivid portrait of life in a remote coastal village through the eyes of young Pat, a spirited boy whose world revolves around the sea and its rhythms. When summer visitors arrive, Pat finds himself drawn into their orbit, particularly captivated by the gentle Miss Nannie and her whimsical cousin Daisy. As he guides them through his familiar landscape of towering cliffs, sandy beaches, and hidden caves, Pat's own understanding of his home and its wonders begins to blossom. Through Nannie's patient guidance, Pat encounters new stories and ideas, opening his eyes to a world beyond his immediate experience.
