Publisher's Synopsis
Local author Robert Thomas recounts the many rich incidents of Burnham's past, reaching right back to Arthurian legend. He tells of a major naval battle, smuggling, piracy, shipwreck and 'murder most foul'.
About the Publisher
Described by one reviewer as the Rolls-Royce of local books, Halsgrove's pedigree at the heart of regional publishing is defined by the publication of titles of national quality in the regional market. For over two decades we have built upon this reputation, taking the experience acquired through our Westcountry origins to become the major player in the regional hardback market, publishing books aimed at local-interest readers throughout the UK and increasingly in other European countries. Several hundred titles are now published each year.
