FAREWELL MR PUFFIN: A SMALL BOAT VOYAGE TO ICELAND

The puffin is the joker amongst the seabirds of the north Atlantic, but what is happening to this much-loved bird is far from a laughing matter. This is the conclusion of writer and broadcaster Paul Heiney, who set sail from the east coast of England bound for Iceland. A book rich in travel and sailing narrative, natural and social history, with a strong undercurrent of good humour, which provides not only an insight into the private life of the puffin, but an honest portrait of human life on the ocean waves.
