Beecroft Mariner and the Brixton Shell Cottage
In Brixton, Amos Beecroft and his son recount a cottage famed for shells from every shore. The narrator recalls his sailor father’s death at sea, family memories, and a childhood drawn to the sea, amid a search for pearls and a budding friendship with a moneylender, Druce.
