Paul Devereux chats to Catri Fox about the unbelievable story that inspired his novel 'On Tidal Sand,' and reads an extract from the book. "A short story exercise soon grew into a much researched and longer work which I am proud to say means that my grandfather's recollections will never be forgotten. I took his tales and stood on his shoulders to make them even taller."
