Set against the backdrop of Cape Cod, this classic nature writing piece captures Henry Beston's transformative year spent in solitude by the ocean. Initially intended as a brief retreat, his observations of the changing seasons and coastal life deepened into a profound exploration of nature. The work significantly contributed to the establishment of Cape Cod National Seashore and has inspired numerous nature writers. This edition features an insightful essay by Allan Burns on the book's impact and a detailed biographical timeline of Beston's life.
