Story for Climate and Nature Recovery

Silhouette of a longship

Jules Pretty, author of Sea Sagas of the North, has just launched his new YouTube channel, ‘Story for Climate and Nature Recovery‘.

It contains short films, each between 5 and 10 minutes long, addressing a wide range of issues relating to storytelling, climate, and nature. Current playlists include Story, Regenerative Cultures, and Sagas of Rising Seas. Eight films are available so far, including a reading of The Drowning of Doggerland, with more to follow. We encourage you to subscribe.

We particularly like the part where Jules channels his inner Canute on the foreshore of a Suffolk beach. (Of course, he’s going to get his feet wet.)

It’s exciting that more and more people have been discovering Sea Sagas of the North and its stories of life on the edge of land and on the sea. The book is currently on sale and selling out fast.
