A member of Liskeard Poetry Group has published a collection of traditional folk tales from the moors, villages and coasts of North and East Cornwall.
‘Cornish Folk Tales of Place’ was written by Anna Chorlton, who lives on Bodmin Moor.
Cornwall’s rugged coast is etched with stories. Here you’ll find tales of powerful mermaids, spiteful witches, crafty smugglers and woeful ghosts. Up on the moors are mischievous creatures, huge giants and elusive beasts. Let the piskeys lead you astray across the windy tors and sandy shorelines to experience wonder, miracles, secrets and magic.
The stories in this book were originally collected as part of Mazed Tales in which local writers and storytellers worked together, finding and retelling tales from old collections.
