Description
Dicky Holla is the captain of a fishing boat called An Rosenn Wynn. Whether finding new ways to evade Customs and Excise or leading his crew through storms and mist, Dicky always finds time for a story and a pint at the Arwoedh Seynoryon. The trusty skipper’s adventures are told in a lively colloquial Cornish full of colourful idioms and wry wit. Set in the 1950s, every story has a new surprise and will draw the reader further into the world of the fishing community.
Who would bend the rules and work sometimes within the law and sometimes outside of it? Who would behave in a way that would seem to be silly but funny? It could not be but one man – Fisherman Dicky Holla of Porth Elin.
