More about the book!

This week on Pagecast, the podcast from Jonathan Ball Publishers, Craig Foster sits down with father and son duo Charles and Matthew Griffiths to chat about their book, Explore the Shore.

Explore the Shore is a guide to discovering the creatures and features shaping the South African shoreline.

Pagecast offers you insider interviews with recently published authors, looking into the process of writing, exploring the narratives within and providing you with the story behind the story.

Did you know that limpets grow their own seaweed gardens? Or that sea anemones fight one another to defend territories? What’s up with whelks surfing the waves in search of food? How does a starfish move? Does the paper nautilus really have a shell?

All this – and much more – about South African marine life is explained in Explore the Shore. Written in an engaging and conversational style, the book encourages curious but novice naturalists of all ages to head to the shore to explore for themselves.

Readers will learn not only about general life on the shore but also about some weird and interesting aspects of creatures’ behaviour. Armed with the information in this book, a beach walk can be more exciting than any safari!

Pop-up features like personal anecdotes from the authors, interesting fact boxes and tongue-in-cheek comments from their adorable labradoodle Ben, who accompanies them on their beach visits, will make for personal, inviting content that readers will love.
