The paperback Overlooking the Sea is the latest offering from author Stuart Johns; it runs alongside his earlier Ǽrworuld series.

(Aerworuld is an Anglo-Saxon word meaning ancient world, former world).

There are elements of fantasy and of the cosmic... even some poetry! Throughout, there is an ever-present theme of the appreciation of nature.

Within the pages you will find no less than 35 illustrations by the author - a few of which, such as the galleon on the front cover, were even created on his trusty

Acorn Electron (a home computer from 1983).

Follow along with Ashlin Ottersfoot; a young woodsman who dwells in a little village steeped in tradition.

This book offers a taste of his experiences, stories, artwork and poetry...

...all set in the countryside around that ruined chapel, atop a beautiful hill, looking out to sea.

A hill surrounded by green fields and many a tree; an old chapel sits up there, overlooking the sea.
