Complete and unabridged, with 13 full-page plates by Stanhope Forbes, Robert Strickland Thomas and Joseph Heard. A fishing village on the Picardy coast, a girl who waits for the boats, and the season that changes what waiting means. Calmettes wrote about the French coast with an eye trained in the studios - he was an art critic before he was a novelist. This edition adds a gallery of 13 plates bound with the book, among them works by Stanhope Forbes, Joseph Heard and George Webster, alongside 19 restored and coloured illustrations.
