description: A beautiful and enlightening new book about the Taplin life and work charts a riveting journey from the wartime East End to the wilds of the Essex coast. En route, the self-taught artist, hurtling through many careers before finding his feet and pouring his spirit into sculpture, has meandered as far as the driftwood he turns into magical art.
