Always the Sound of the Sea by Helen Beaglehole
$45.99
Secondhand hardcover like new condition. Published by Craig Potton Publishing, 2009. This book explores the daily lives of New Zealand's lighthouse keepers through first-hand accounts including letters, diary extracts, official correspondence, and interviews spanning from 1872 to modern times. Helen Beaglehole challenges the myths and romance surrounding lighthouse keeping by presenting the keepers' own words, revealing their fears, frustrations, and rewards. Illustrated with family snapshots and historical photographs, it serves as both a sequel and companion to her earlier work 'Lighting the Coast.'
