The Fo'c'sle: Henry Beston's "Outermost House"



This is a beautifully illustrated children's book based on The Outermost House: A Year in the Life of the Great Beach of Cape Cod.  It was delightful.

It was nicknamed the "Fo'c'sle" comes from the navel term "forecastle" and is the forward part of the ship. The author of The Outermost House nicknamed his house this because it was the farthest house toward the sea.
