Description

---

This time Wanderland Writers venture deep into Cornwall, exploring its craggy coasts, its castles, its contrasts. They find, of course, its legacy of Camelot, the lingering shadows of Arthurian legend, tragic love, magic, and Merlin. They also find its sorrows, buried deep in its history like the now closed mines, where the windswept moors and jagged coasts made everyday events of shipwrecks, isolation, cave-ins. Yet, as workshop leaders Joanna Biggar and Linda Watanabe McFerrin and their fellow travelers discover, that is not the whole story. They also encounter the wonderful and hospitable Cornish, with their enchanting accents, their delightful yarns, their humor, their endurance. They wander, bicycle, hike and kayak to explore hills, waterways, villages, and moors in search of the spirit of artists and writers who have come before them to leave an imprint on this untamed land.

"Careful, reader. This book is a delight, no doubt about it. But now I have to go to Cornwall."
—Tim Cahill, Author of Jaguars Ripped My Flesh and Hold the Enlightenment

"Wandering in Cornwall is a beguiling collection of stories and poems about the extreme west of England. Everything that makes Cornwall so special is here: pasties, clotted cream, artists, smugglers, the South West Coast Path—and even the thieving seagulls. Readers who know Cornwall will be inspired to return and newcomers to this land of myth and legend will vow to see it for themselves."
—Hilary Bradt MBE, Co-founder of Bradt Travel Guides
