Reviews:
“Everyday Cornwall is captured with a hint of a subtle intrusion of the unknown. From the chatter of beach going families and steaming pasties to howling hounds and monstrous moths.
“I like the ambiguity of the surfer merman in Wade beneath the Waves. In Drowning Horses, the rhythm of the horse’s hooves against the beat of mining toil was excellent. I very much enjoyed, Flecks of Gold; a journey into the heart of the Cornish moors.
“Giving an eclectic flavour of Cornwall and Cornish life. The many styles of writing come together in a book of adventure, humour and intrigue.”
Anna Chorlton, author of Cornish Folk Tales of Place published in 2019
“Such a wide variety of different stories, but all share the same setting … If you love Cornwall, there will be a tale for you in this fab anthology!”
Cath Norris, author of The Runaways
