Book – ‘The Lost Village’

A book written by my dad and illustrated by myself.

My dad wrote this story when I was a child and we were on holiday in the small local fishing village of Collieston. It is inspired by the true story of Forvie Village which was buried under sand during a terrible storm around 500 years ago. He gave it to me a few years ago and it was forgotten about until I decided to do something with it for his 80th birthday last year. Since many of my paintings are of the piece of coastline where the story is set, I used many of them as illustrations and made it into a book. It’s a lovely little story, suitable for adults and children (it features a boy & a talking seagull) about the importance of looking after our environment. It would make an original gift for anyone interested in this area or with an interest in coastal things anywhere!
