Description: THE OUTERMOST HOUSE: A YEAR OF LIFE ON THE GREAT BEACH OF CAPE CODHenry BestonIllustrated with Photographs by William A Bradford and OthersGarden City NY: Doubleday, Doran and Company, Inc 1933 -- 6th Edition A classic chronicle of the cycles of nature on the beach of Cape Cod. Beston built a small cottage on one of the easternmost reaches of land, an area located at the end of Nauset Spit. THE OUTERMOST HOUSE records his experience in this little cottage over the period of a year. The house was named a literary landmark in 1963. Unfortunately, Beston's home was washed away by storm tides in 1978. An early edition of this classic piece of nature writing. THE OUTERMOST HOUSE is the chronicle of a year of life upon a beach. In telling his story Mr. Beston may be said to have invented a new kind of literary form, for he has written a chronicle of the open world, which has the movement and the sequence of a novel. He chronicles the life of beach and dune, the pageant of the great migrations, the comings and goings of dune butterflies and the tiny world of the outer sands, the revival of spring along the coast, the mysterious rebirth of life in the chilled sea, the battles of fish in the surf, and the high tide of summer and life under the elemental sun. The book is illustrated with many striking photographs. [from book flap] CONDITIONGray and teal pictorial dust jacket. Navy cloth boards with silver lettering. Pictorial endpapers. Deckled edged.
