The Shipping Forecast Brought to Life

Experience the poetic allure of Britain's iconic Shipping Forecast through exquisite watercolours and stories from coastal regions sailors know by heart.

Rain Later, Good is the award-winning story of Peter Collyer's extraordinary journey around the Shipping Forecast areas. The Shipping Forecast is a national institution, relied upon by mariners but also strangely comforting and poetic to landlubbers.

First published in 1998 to great acclaim, Rain Later, Good was chosen by the RNLI to celebrate their 175th anniversary and has since sold over 25,000 copies. This gorgeous book, now available in paperback, has been completely revised and updated with several new paintings.

Peter Collyer's brilliant and detailed paintings offer a series of images which help conjure up the most mythical locations, whilst his delightful idiosyncratic text provides a wealth of fascinating insights. He introduces us to the people who live and work in these areas, and passes on snippets of tantalising information to give a powerful impression of the place and convey a real feeling of being there.

The beautiful paintings from his travels truly capture the spirit of these wild and isolated spots, and this edition includes new paintings, sketches and up-to-date text. This is a much-loved book celebrating an iconic broadcast, and its reissue will be welcomed by Peter's many admirers.
