A blue-domed, dolphin-decorated bathing hut still stands on a tiny beach near
Osborne on the Isle of Wight, a relic of Queen Victoria鈥檚 stately dips in the
sea. Before Victoria鈥檚 time, however, respectable Europeans left the beach to
workers: crabbers, cockle diggers, collectors of lava, fishermen and smugglers.
Lena Lencek and Gideon Bosker reveal in The Beach how it became,
littorally and literally, the dream place. (Was it the hydrodynamic bathing
suits that did it?) An enjoyable history, now out in paperback. Published by
Pimlico, 拢10, ISBN 071266596X.
