Join us for a cosy evening in the bookshop delving into the mystical world of West Cornwall's Folk Tales with Anna Chorlton - giant wrangler, piskie spyer and all-round expert on Cornish folk tales!
West Cornwall is a land of tin-mine strewn cliffs and safe south harbours, with all the bustle of ships, fishing boats, gigs, industry, and tourists. The beaches are blessed with stretching sands, and tempting surf, stunning caves and rock formations, a sea lido, and a theatre beside the ocean. Along the cliffs lurk grumpy giants, playful piskeys and hungry dragons.
The middle of Cornwall is clay country and farming. In the towns live wise women, dashing devils, strong wrestlers and fearless hurlers. Beware hissing spriggins, seducing sea women and restless ghosts.
Let your imagination play with the spirit of West Penwith and immerse your mind in the stories within it.
Capturing the magic of Cornwall, folklore writer Anna Chorlton retells its tales and introduces her new book Cornish Folk Tales of Place: Traditional Stories from Mid and West Cornwall.
The talk will be followed by a Q and A and then Anna will be signing copies of her books.
Ticket price includes a complimentary drink.
Join us and see how we transform our bookshop into a special evening event space!
Limited tickets, so book now.
