'If listening to "Sailing By" to the bitter end every night is the surest sign of a Radio 4 addict, then buying Charlie Connelly's book runs it close' Independent on Sunday The Shipping Forecast is a curious piece of broadcasting; at once impenetrably baffling yet at the same time reassuringly familiar, most of us have grown up with this sonorous gazetteer firmly planted in our subconscious. But where are these places, and what secrets do they conceal? Charlie Connelly sets off on a journey round the forecast to find out, unearthing the history and culture behind one of Britain's best-loved broadcasting institutions. More than simply a hilarious travel book, Attention All Shipping ensures that the evocative stanzas of the shipping forecast will remain a mystery no more. AREA LUNDY 'Armchair travelling will never be the same again' Western Mail AREA PORTLAND 'He brings the shipping forecast to life, revealing the reality to be bizarre, quirky and fantastic' Guernsey Press AREA THAMES 'Charlie Connelly proves to be a suitably intelligent and amusing guide around these coastal stations and provides an illuminating history of the forecast itself' Hampstead and Highgate Express

Three of his books have been selected as BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. Charlie is the literary correspondent for the New European, writes and presents the Coastal Stories podcast and performs his one-man show about the shipping forecast in venues across the country. He lives in Scotland where he misses Charlton Athletic terribly.
