Bücher von Kathryn Ferry

Kathryn Ferry grew up near the coast in North Devon, but usually only went to the beach out of season in her wellies. In 1998 she fell in love with beach huts during a visit to Herne Bay in Kent. Inspired by this surprising new passion, she began researching their story and, in the summer of 2002, she went on a two-month journey around the English coast to record the state of the nation's huts. She has been researching their history every since and is now the national beach hut expert. Having finished her PhD studying architectural history at the University of Cambridge, she decided to specialise in the seaside. She is the author of eight books, including titles on the British seaside holiday, bungalows, 1950s kitchens and, most recently, the official history of Butlin's.
