Seaflower Books
Books on the Channel Islands
New in 2011
We thought we had published our final new Seaflower title in 2009 with Journey round St Helier, the third in Robin Pittman’s ‘Journey’ series on Jersey.
However, in 2010 we received a manuscript from David Le Maistre on the subject of low water fishing – an enduring feature of island life which intrigued us. It was when we saw a series of wonderful accompanying illustrations by Jim Le Couteur that we knew we had to publish and did so in March this year.
In June we published Les Minquiers: Jersey’s Southern Outpost by former Director of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, Jeremy Mallinson. Like Low Water Fishing, Les Minquiers has been well received and well reviewed in Jersey and deals with a subject which has hitherto received little attention.
In 2012 we plan to publish Fortified Isle by Ian Ronayne whose 2009 book Ours, focusing on Jersey’s role in the Great War, has been a critical and popular success.

Seaflower Books published its first title, Jersey Rambles, in 1992, since when it has built a list of around thirty books concerned with the heritage of the Channel Islands, with a particular emphasis on Jersey.
