Children of the flood: what can lands lost to rising waters tell us?
Sunken Lands is a lyrical, light-historical excavation of lands lost to encroaching waves. It recounts stories passed down to us of these deluges, ranging from the familiar tale of Atlantis to the less well known fable of the land that lives below the Irish Sea, known to the Welsh as the kingdom of Cantrer Gwaelod, and the English as the Lowland Hundred. Author Gareth E Rees' latest book follows Marshland, Marshland and Unofficial Britain.
