The outermost house
Henry Beston
For a year Henry Beston lived in a small house on the great Cape Cod beach and let the ocean teach him. His outermost house moves through autumn, ocean, and birds with rare stillness and grace. Luminous, patient, and unforgettable. One of the enduring classics of American nature writing. Move into a cabin on the outer dunes and learn to listen to the sea.
