A Maid of the Silver Sea by John Oxenham is about an examination of the daily lives of people living on the islands near Guernsey. Excerpt: «A girl and a boy lay in a cubby-hole on the north side of the cliff overlooking Port Gorey, and watched the goings-on down below. The sun was tending towards Guernsey and the gulf was filled with golden light. A small brig, unkempt and dirty, was nosing towards the rough wooden landing stage clamped to the opposite rocks, as though doubtful of the advisability of attempting its closer acquaintance.»
