In 1997 sixty-two containers fell off the cargo ship Tokio Express after it was hit by a rogue wave off the coast of Cornwall, including one container filled with nearly five million pieces of Lego, much of it sea themed. In the months that followed, beachcombers started to find Lego washed up on beaches across the south west coast. Among the pieces they discovered were octopuses, sea grass, spear guns, life rafts, scuba tanks, cutlasses, flippers and dragons. The pieces are still washing up today.
I loved it; as a Lego lover and a lover of Devon, it has very artistic layouts and segments of descriptions of currents from another favourite book “flotsametrics”
It strikes a strange tone between wonder and horror.
There is far too much that we are littering. And it’s going to last forever.
A little repetitive though and lacking in detail at times.
Accessible though and I’ll enjoy sharing it.
The book is very beautiful, both the writing and the illustrations. I found it very soothing.
