Smuggling in the British Isles by Richard Platt
The extraordinary emergence of smuggling during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries forms much of the history of the coastline of the British Isles, and the traditional image of the fisherman-cum-smuggler has intrigued historians and fiction-writers alike for decades.
Richard Platt is a maritime historian who has written over 60 books. He has appeared in a Meridian TV series on smuggling, and on BBC's 'Inspirational Britain', as well as taking part in BBC radio's 'Kaleidoscope' and 'Word of Mouth'. More recently, he worked as a costume consultant for the Disney feature film 'Pirates of the Caribbean II'. He lives with his wife in Kent.
