Excerpt from A Cornish Droll: A Novel My darter's youngest darter be set to mind me nowadays, because I'm a terrible old man and I might die any minute. A very clever girl, and being at her wits' end to find me something to do a bit ago, she hit on the witty thought that I should write down the things that have happened to me in my early life. "You've got your eyes and you've got your memory, gran'father," she says, "and you're a fine penman for your age also, so why for shouldn't you tell your story? Then you wouldn't need to talk so much, and be so busy, and it would pass a bit of the time for you and spare your game leg."

By considering the folklore of Cornwall in a Northern European context, this book casts light on a treasury of often-ignored traditions. Folklore studies internationally have long considered Celtic material, but scholars have tended to overlook Cornwall’s collections. The Folklore of Cornwall fills this gap, placing neglected stories on a par with those from other regions where Celtic languages have deep roots. The Folklore of Cornwall demonstrates that Cornwall has a distinct body of oral tradition, even when examining legends and folktales that also appear elsewhere. The way in which Cornish droll tellers achieved this unique pattern is remarkable; with the publication of this book, it becomes possible for folklorists to look to the peninsula beyond the River Tamar for insight. A very readable text with popular appeal, this book serves as an introduction to folklore studies for the novice while also offering an alternative means to consider Cornish studies for advanced scholars. The comparative analysis combined with an innovative method of The Folklore of Cornwall is not to be found in other treatments of the subject.
