Cornwall's Wonderland
Cornwall's Wonderland by Mabel Quiller-Couch is the story of the strange and ethereal Cornwall. Quiller-Couch writes about pirates, smuggling, and ghosts. Excerpt: "Long, long ago, when Cornwall was almost a desert land, cold, bleak, and poor, and inhabited only by giants, who had destroyed and eaten all the smaller people, Brutus and Corineus came with a large Trojan army intending to conquer England, or Albion as it was then called, and landed at Plymouth for that purpose. These two valiant chiefs had heard strange tales of the enormous size of the people in that part of the island, so, like wise generals, before venturing inland themselves, they sent parties of their men to explore, and find out what they could of the inhabitants."
