Description

Ghosts: A Portrait of the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads

Poems by Cameron Self

Photographs by Stephen Hyatt-Cross

“This book is different and is an important, entertaining and at times emotional look at the life and times of the beautiful Broads.” Derek James

‘Between poems and photos that reflect each other like still Broad water you are immersed in all the beautiful and subtle shades of place, from old characters to coypu trappers, windmills to reedbeds, flint ruins to boys fishing.’

Jeremy Noel-Tod

‘These wonderful words and images capture the haunting beauty of Broadland, water and landscapes shaped over centuries by human industry and the inexorable forces of climate, societal and technological change. They capture moments in time, linking us to our own recent past and reminding us of our responsibility to keep faith with our heritage as we seek to manage inevitable change for the benefit of people, nature and future generations.’

Tony Grayling, Member of the Broads Authority

‘This collection of poems and photos is nothing less than a love-letter to the Broads. There is a strong sense of place on every page – and of utter timelessness too. From the Acle Straight to Winter Reeds, it’s all here. Reflective, occasionally elegiac and, like Reedham Ferry, not to be taken for granted.’
