Hobbies, quizzes & games

Josie Iselin, author of Abams's popular Heart Stones, turns to sea glass hearts for a companion volume that promises to be just as appealing. Beachcombers the world over treasure sea glass, the shards from broken objects that are tumbled by the waves into smooth, pebble like forms. They know which colours are common (green and brown) and which are unusual (black, yellow, red and especially orange) and they can often identify the ago and origin of a specimen. On rare occasions sea glass takes the shape of a heart, the universal symbol for love. In Sea-glass Hearts Iselin assembles and inspiring collection of these precious objects that are free for the taking, if you are lucky enough to find one!
