Cornish Folk Tales, Paperback / softback Book

Cornish Folk Tales Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The ancient land of Cornwall is steeped in mysterious tradition, proud heritage and age-old folklore.

Before books were widely available, wandering ‘droll tellers’ used to spread Cornish insight and humour to all parts of the Duchy – exchanging their tales for food and shelter.

Anthony James was one such droll teller, and this collection follows him as he makes his way around Cornwall one glorious summer.

Richly illustrated with hand-drawn images and woodcuts, Cornish Folk Tales will appeal to anyone captivated by this beautiful land and its resident kindly giants, mischievous piskeys, seductive mermaids, bold knights and barnacle-encrusted sea captains.
