Cornwall is said to be the most beautiful region of Britain, with its rugged cliffs, secluded coves with golden sand, the wild and romantic Bodmin Moor, and countless evergreen river valleys. However, Cornwall is also an area full of legends and the majority of "holy" place names (Saint) on the British Isles. King Arthur is said to have been born in Cornwall, giants built stairs and entire islands, gnomes roam through the dense underbrush, mermaids lure good citizens into their cool waters, and, like kings, smugglers ruled the coasts. The author Rebecca Michéle has compiled twelve of the most beautiful legends for this volume and tells in her own words about King Arthur, fairies, giants, and brave people. Each story is accompanied by a map showing the location of the events. Thus, this book can also serve as a guide to eerie places.
