Cornish Ghosts and Legends

“This selection of stories about the ghosts, giants, and ‘Little Folk’ of Cornwall had been taken from the three-volume work by William Bottrell published privately about a hundred years ago.

The stories are not only enthralling in themselves, but also shed light on the way of life and beliefs of people living in the west of Cornwall at that time. Since Bottrell wrote with great verve and humour, and had a keen eye for character and detail, this collection will be enjoyed by all with a love for this romantic country.”
