Peter Collyer Books

Rain Later, Good is the award winning story of Peter Collyer's extraordinary journey around the Shipping Forecast areas. The Shipping Forecast is a national institution, relied upon by mariners but also strangely comforting and poetic to landlubbers. Peter Collyer's brilliant and detailed paintings offer a series of images which help conjure up the most mythical locations, whilst his delightful idiosyncratic text provides a wealth of fascinating insights. He introduces us to the people who live and work in these areas, and passes on snippets of tantalising information to give a powerful impression of the place and convey a real feeling of being there.

Through a collection of paintings and sketches, Peter Collyer captures the essence of the islands he cherishes. The accompanying text enriches the visual experience with tales of his travels, blending historical and geographical insights with local legends. Readers will discover the unique flora and fauna, as well as engaging stories about the people and places that define this distinctive corner of Britain.
