The Long Deep

Travel writer and journalist Des Hannigan’s new book, The Long Deep, a close-quarters look at the Cornish coast and sea, illustrated with scenes that the selfie-stick does not reach.

Tales of shipwrecks on Penzance seafront; international eavesdropping at Morwenstow; close encounters with sharks’ teeth; a bassoon-playing lighthouse-keeper and a Chinese junk off the Isles of Scilly are all salted with fun, facts and furbelows.
