Excerpt from Deadham Hard: A RomanceThe great, grey, long-backed abbey stands on a heart shaped peninsula of slightly rising ground. Its western tower, land-mark for the valleys and seamark for vessels making the Haven, overtops the avenue of age-old elms which shade the graveyard. Close about the Church, the red brick and rough-cast houses of the little market-town - set in a wide margin of salt-marsh and meadow intersected by blue-brown waterways gather, as a brood of Chickens gathers about a mothering hen. Beyond lie the pale glinting levels of the estuary, guarded on the west by gently upward mping cornlands and on the south by the dark furze and heath-clad mass of Stone Horse Head. Beyond again, to the low horizon, stretches the Channel sea.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
