Travel to places “where land mingles with the sea, where pristine marshlands are puzzled by winding creeks, where hidden bays are painted by the sun and jeweled by the moon, where threads of barrier coastline connect stories of the Atlantic. Places that breathe in the nourishing ocean tide and breath out an abundance of fascinating life born in shallow nurseries; places that have taught me and held me and always welcome me back home.”

Tales of the Tide is a collection of essays about living and loving Maryland’s Eastern Shore and the Carolina Lowcountry. In a book that is part humor, part nostalgia and reverence, and part instruction
in living the coastal experience to its fullest, essayist John Milton Pruitt shares a lifetime of stories, tall tales, advice, and recipes in this unique volume sure to please both coastal dwellers and those experiencing this world for the first time.
