The caravan pilgrim, von Peter Frederick Anson
Fascinating read. Found in Hay on Wye. With a dedication from Graine to Siobhan 1943.
Originally issued in 1934 this work describes the still traditional communities of Brittany's seafarers between the wars. Looks at folklore and superstitions, describes the cod, sardine and tunny fisheries and lists and describes all the fishing villages between Cancale and Nantes. Also shows the Breton seafaring way of life and their boats.
Interesting biography of a 20th century hermit. Architect, Anglican, then rector, then Catholic, then priest in Australia, of note, then hermit in Bahamas. Would classify him as an active hermit, known not hidden, but transitioning and desiring to be hidden the last couple of years of life, but not able so easily then. Amazingly talented person!
