Tide-Race is a remarkable account of life on Bardsey (known as Ynys Enlli to Welsh speakers), a remote and mysterious island off the coast of North Wales.
Brenda Chamberlain lived on the island from 1947 to 1961, during the last days of its hardy community.
The combination of Bardsey, ancient site of Christian pilgrimage, wild and dangerous landscape, and Brenda Chamberlain, Royal Academy trained artist, results in a classic book, vividly illustrated by the author’s line drawings.
This edition includes an Afterword by fellow artist Jonah Jones.
