Bradly Mudgett is fed up with beer-swilling, gossip-ridden small town life. So he packs up his paintbrushes and his dog and heads for the beach. Pacing the shores, dreaming of the perfect seascape, Bradly thinks he's found the peace his heart desires. But into the picture steps Cora - a girl who can reach the parts every middle-aged man would like refreshed. Nor had he reckoned on Cora's grandmother, eccentric and unpredictable and well aware that Cora is under the age of consent! Cover art: Solly by Norman Lindsay.
