Abbie Rushton has heard lots of stories about Atlantis and had often wondered if it was a real place. She genuinely didn't know the answer so she loved researching this book to see if she could find out!


She was thrilled that she could share some information about Dunwich as she’s been fascinated since she visited as a child. She doesn’t live far from Dunwich now and still enjoy visiting the beach and the last grave on the clifftop.
