A Brit Ponders the Banks
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Anthony Bailey admired the Outer Banks from his native Britain, but was sorely disappointed upon first arrival. No bucolic, unspoiled nature spots, but strip malls, traffic jams and houses built to the ocean edge. But he gave the Banks a chance and over the next few weeks traveled from Corolla to Nag's Head to Ocracoke to Harker's Island. While doing so he gained an appreciation for the region's unique natural beauty, culture and history. Bailey effortlessly weaves nature writing and adventure with history and resident profiles to document the broad social trends affecting Outer Banks culture. Recommended for anyone with an interest in the area.
