Children's books.
Quote:
There are rope walks and washing that flaps on waggling lines above banks of stony shingle, littered with seaweed, whelk shells and dead crabs - very different from Aunt Porca's clothes-line over the clean green grass.
And there are marine stores that sell spyglasses, and sou'westers, and onions: and there are smells;and curious high sheds, shaped like sentry boxes...
Book and author?

It's been too many years since I have read to my children, so memory is not
too good on kids books.
The only author that comes to mind at the moment, is Margaret Mahey[?]
Can't think of any titles though.
