The seventy-fifth anniversary edition of the classic book about Cape Cod, written with simplicity, sympathy, and beauty"

A chronicle of a solitary year spent on a Cape Cod beach, The Outermost House has long been recognised as a classic of American nature writing. Henry Beston had originally planned to spend just two weeks in his seaside home, but was so possessed by the mysterious beauty of his surroundings that he found he "could not go."

Instead, he sat down to try and capture in words the wonders of the magical landscape he found himself in thrall to: the migrations of seabirds, the rhythms of the tide, the windblown dunes, and the scatter of stars in the changing summer sky.

About the Author

Henry Beston (1888 1968) wrote many books, including White Pine and Blue Water, Northern Farm, and The St. Lawrence.
