Norman Ellison is known by countless listeners to the B.B.C. Northern Children's Hour as Nomad the Naturalist; and his fortnightly walk into the country with his schoolboy nephew, Dick, has become one of the highlights of broadcasting. In this story Dick is spending his holidays at Nomad's home - an old smuggler's cottage on the cliff-top; and what holidays they prove to be! Whether they are going down the quarry face on a rope, warding off the attack of a wild cat or hunting for pearls among the mussel beds, Nomad holds the reader's attention by the same charm and fascination he displays when broadcasting.
