Field notes
The site points readers beyond a book announcement to chapter quotations, a historical excerpt, a glossary, and a parish-history section. The glossary defines terms such as “crocus bag” and “hataclaps”; the parish material names free villages, the 1938 Uprising, and the Dry Harbour Mountains. The page says the book is due in December 2026 and offers email notices, but shows no purchase details.
