Download or read book Romney Marsh written by Jill Eddison and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romney Marsh lies at the frontier between land and sea. It consists entirely of land gained from the sea, and being below the level of high tides, has always been threatened by flooding. Four ports now stranded miles from the sea and another lost to the sea bear witness to great changes in the coastline. The book charts the history of human occupation of a very specialized and difficult environment over the last 2000 years. Advances were made when both environmental and economic conditions were favorable. But when difficulties became insuperable, especially in Roman times and again in the 13th century, the inhabitants retreated. The struggle for survival continues, and the book concludes with the challenges facing the 21st century.

Book excerpt: An "excellent," darkly-told crime novel in the tradition of Tana French and Ian Rankin (Wall Street Journal). Sergeant Alexandra Cupidi is a recent transfer from the London metro police to the rugged Kentish countryside. She's done little to ingratiate herself with her new colleagues, who find her too brash, urban, and -- to make matters worse -- she investigated her first partner, a veteran detective, and had him arrested on murder charges. Now assigned the brash young Constable Jill Ferriter to look after, she's facing another bizarre case: a woman found floating in local marsh land, dead of no apparent cause. The case gets even stranger when the detectives contact the victim's next of kin, her son, a high-powered graphic designer living in London. Adopted at the age of two, he'd never known his mother, he tells the detectives, until a homeless womanknocked on his door, claiming to be his mother, just the night before: at the same time her body was being dredged from the water. Juggling the case, her aging mother, her teenage daughter, and the loneliness of country life, Detective Cupidi must discover who the woman really was, who killed her, and how she managed to reconnect with her long lost son, apparently from beyond the grave.

Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of the “twisty-mystery” (Vulture) novel In a Dark, Dark Wood, The Woman in Cabin 10, and The Turn of the Key comes Ruth Ware’s The Lying Game. Isa Wilde knows something terrible has happened when she receives a text from an old friend. Why would Kate summon her and their two friends to the seaside town where they briefly attended the Salten House boarding school together seventeen years ago? The four friends had quickly bonded over the Lying Game—a risky contest that involved tricking fellow boarders and faculty with their lies. Now reunited, Isa, Kate, Thea, and Fatima discover that their past lies had far-reaching effects and criminal implications that threaten them all. In order to protect their reputations, and their friendship, they must uncover the truth about what really happened all those years ago. Atmospheric and twisty, with just the right amount of chill, The Lying Game will have readers at the edge of their seats, not knowing who can be trusted in this tangled web of lies.

It tells the tale of the good people of England's Romney Marsh, battling to deceive the local revenue men of duty for contraband goods from France. The men of Romney Marsh are led by the villan the Scarecrow who is non other than the good Dr Syn Parson of Dymchurch-under-the wall, so named as the sea is 9 feet above the sea wall. At night the frail Parson Dr Syn becomes the vicious Scarecrow, stopping at nothing to get the cotraband through, crossing the moorland and dikes, riding his huge black horse Gehenna painted with luminous paint, to add to the 'folklore' of the mystery of the Scarecrow. Only Mipps his faithful assistant knows the true identity of the Scarecrow. The Excise men finally get a man to match the Scarecrow and Mr Faulks arrives in Dymchurch with an old sailor that Syn multilated in his days on the sea as Captain Clegg (told in Dr Syn on the high seas). Recognition of the old Sailor sends Syn into morbid moods, Mipps knows his master is worried about the visitor from the past.

As something more blossoms between the two, Peggy's brother Ernest's curiosity peaks and other secrets come to light, forcing Peggy and Henryk to question all the loyalties and beliefs they thought they held dear. In one extraordinary summer the lives of two young people will change forever, in a tense and gripping historical drama from Lydia Syson, the author of the acclaimed A WORLD BETWEEN US.

Download or read book Life on Marsh written by Andy Holyer and published by . This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Niko's enthusiastic pursuit of folklore, myths, and all the things that help to make the Universe the amazing place that it is, melded with the evocative images of Andy Holyer, brings to life the legend and lore of Romney Marsh. Niko lives in Kent with his wife Rachel and sons Robert and Jonathan. His career has spanned from being a leading designer of microchips to being a purveyor of fish and chips. His hobbies include megalithic engineering (building full size stone circles), chainsaw carving, silversmithing and mushrooms. Andy was born in Lydd and, following a protracted sojourn in Yorkshire, returned to live in the town with partner Jenny and an unquenchable obsession with local history. His vibrant and colourful paintings cast a unique and uncompromising light on the history and culture of Romney Marsh. Together, Andy and Niko have produced a book that reflects the character of the Marsh itself - whimsical, provoking; a place of wide open skies and dark secrets; where light and colour can as soon give way to impenetrable mist and shade. What more likely guides to lead us on a journey through the mysteries and magic of the 'sixth continent'?

Download or read book The Sea and the Marsh written by Gillian Draper and published by Pre-construct Archaeology Monograph. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today New Romney sits a couple of miles inland from the sea but, in common with many towns along this stretch of coast, was once a thriving seaport. Archaeological excavations here by Pre-Construct Archaeology identified evidence for medieval occupation, fishing and seafaring on the foreshore at the northeastern end of the town. This strand area was ravaged by storms, particularly during the 13th century and this is clearly demonstrated in the archaeological record. This publication presents the findings of these excavations but also provides a much broader historical background to the town and an exploration of its role as a Cinque Port, and its relationship with the strand area investigated, through contemporary sources and standing building evidence.
