Situated on an arm of the sea, the town, well sheltered from the wild north winds by hills and far-spreading plantations, nestled its houses snugly along the shore, while the blue waves rippled gently in over the red sandstone beach.Nature had indeed done everything for the little watering-place, and man had, as is usually the case, done his best to spoil Nature's handiwork.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
