First Of The Flood: A Fishy Tale
Fred Normandale remembers when his home town of Scarborough was one of the great centres for the fishing industry and had the characters to match. He has turned his memories into a nostalgic book full of tales of his life and adventures at sea.

"I grew up in the 'bottom end' of Scarborough among some wonderful characters, big men with big hearts. The fishermen were extremely hard working and when ashore, mostly hard drinking, though never mixing the two pursuits. I thought this was a normal background, that everyone lived in a world such as mine. I couldn't have been more wrong' life around the harbour was unique." Fred Normandale

Slack Water
This second book from this writer relates to some of the North Sea fishermen in the early 1970s through the author's eyes.
"Fishing is an extreme occupation and adversity breeds characters. These hard working, hard drinking men were wonderful characters, living life to the full. Their way of life has almost gone and their like will never be seen again." Fred Normandale

The Tide Turns
Following the popularity and success of his first two books. 'The First of the Flood', and 'Slack Water', which are set in the 1960s and 1970s in and around Scarborough Harbour, Fred Normandale now continues the tale with his new book 'The Tide Turns'. Readers will quickly identify with the author's passionate belief in a fishing industry which has been central to his life since he was born into a prominent fishing family. It's certainly an absorbing read with a lot of humour.
The book tells of storms, wrecks and salvage, strange catches and life at sea and ashore in the late 1970's and early 1980's with an emphasis on humour.
