The Pebbles on the Beach - Clarence Ellis

Originally published in 1954, The Pebbles on the Beach is Clarence Ellis's beautifully observed guide to the simple pleasure of collecting and identifying stones found along the shoreline. Ellis explores how pebbles are formed and shaped, where to find them, and how to recognise different rocks and minerals.

This vintage Faber paperback edition dates from 1965 and combines Ellis's writing with diagrams, drawings and four distinctive colour photographic plates showing individual stones alongside their illustrated identification guides.
