Whitby's Literary and Artistic Heritage
The unique natural beauty of Whitby, it's majestic cliffs which plunge dramatically into the tempestuous North Sea, it's nest of surrounding rolling hills that merge into windswept moorlands and its rugged and sandy beaches which welcome the winding River Esk to the mouth of the harbour combine with the often quaint and eclectic cobbled streets, fisherman's cottages and Georgian storeyed house to create a atmosphere that cant fail to inspire the creative mind. As such the town has found fame in the work of many a notable artiste's such as the following:
Room 13 by Robert Swindells
Whitby Witches by Robin Jarvis
Caedmon's Song by Peter Robinson
Possession: A Romance by A. S. Byatt
The Hundred and Ninety Nine Steps by Michel Faber
The Chinaman's Bastard
To Make You Smile
How do you get a baby astronaut to sleep?... You rock-et.
