VANISHING CORNWALL

I had read many Daphne De Maurier books in the past but wanted something more factual about the most beautiful part of Britian. My home for nearly forty years was Cornwall & this book highlighted all that was so historic and reminicent of an era gone by. She completes the complete essence of being Cornish and of begining to understand how culturally different Cornwall is. It's celtic beginings transend through the ages so clearly identified by De Maurier. An great book for any Cornishman or Woman to read and enjoy. Her book truly reflects what has happened in Cornwall to the prescent day particullary over the last hundred years.
