At the Seaside

About this book
At the Seaside by Mrs. Warner-Sleigh transports listeners to a sunlit Victorian shore where two young sisters, Georgie and Maudie, discover the delights of a family holiday. Gentle, rhyming verses and charming scenes of Margate capture barefoot games, starfish and jellyfish finds, sandcastle building, crab encounters, seaside sails, and a circus treat—an affectionate slice of 19th-century childhood.
Blending fiction and poetry, these short lyrical episodes reflect the era’s love of wholesome adventure, domestic warmth, and moral simplicity. The book’s playful cadence and vivid seaside imagery evoke engraved illustrations and the ritual of summer trips, offering both nostalgic historical context and timeless fun. Mrs. Warner-Sleigh’s approachable verse makes the everyday wonder of shells, boats, and friendship feel newly discovered with every line.
Perfect for family listening, bedtime story sessions, or lovers of vintage children’s poetry, this audiobook delights young audiences and adults who appreciate quaint, evocative storytelling. Tune in for a calming, characterful journey to the shore—an ideal pick for anyone seeking gentle fiction-poetry that celebrates childhood curiosity and the simple pleasures of the coast.
