Description
Now in its 14th year, The Mariner's Book of Days is an ever-growing encyclopaedia of nautical fact, fiction, and folklore, and has been hailed as the best, most entertaining nautical desk diary in print. An invaluable reference, each annual edition is completely different from its predecessors, and all have become collector's items. On each right-hand page is a week of days, with the nautical significance of each explored in brief. On each left-hand page is a collection of nautical miscellany evoking the rich traditions of the sea, illustrated with a variety of lovely etchings, engravings, sketches, and watercolours. The Mariner's Book of Days takes readers on a 365-day voyage through history.
