"Lancashire Sketches" by Edwin Waugh is a collection of local sketches written in the late 19th century. The work draws on the author's intimate knowledge of South Lancashire, presenting rich descriptions of local scenery, points of interest, and elements of the region's history and culture. The sketches celebrate the everyday life of the Lancashir...
of Bardsea, located near Morecambe Bay. Waugh describes the tranquil summer atmosphere, the idyllic scenery, and a visit with a friend that includes playful children and a lively dog. The narrator and his friend embark on an adventure to Chapel Island, which involves wading through rising tides and encountering the island's only inhabitant, an old fisherman's wife. This gripping narrative combines elements of local history with a vivid portrayal of the Lancashire landscape and its people, setting the tone for the rest of the sketches to follow.
