An Unsentimental Journey through Cornwall

By Dinah Craik

When Dinah Craik set out on her journey through Cornwall, she found a land of windswept cliffs, fishing villages, ancient legends, and lively characters - and recorded it with sharp observation, humour, and curiosity.

First published in the nineteenth century, An Unsentimental Journey Through Cornwall offers a vivid portrait of Cornwall before modern tourism transformed it. Travelling by coach, cart, and country road, Craik explores inns, harbours, moorland landscapes, local customs, and the everyday lives of the people she meets along the way. Her writing is thoughtful, entertaining, and often surprisingly modern in tone.

This new edition brings Craik's classic travel narrative to today's readers, accompanied by notes and a fresh design.
