Cornwall, a land of unique and original characters, has a rich history of strange events and notable people. From the mineral wealth that attracted thousands of men underground to the wild coast that bred hardy seamen and smugglers, S. Baring-Gould's 'Cornish Characters and Strange Events' chronicles the stories of lesser-known luminaries whose tales of political intrigue, religious fanaticism, and piracy are full of captivating and extraordinary experiences. As the author puts it, Cornwall is a land of fascinating mysteries and legends, from tales of fairies to the haunting story of Anne Jefferies, and this book is here to present these stories to you.

Standing alone at the bottom tip of England and despite the enormous influx of tourists it receives each year, Cornwall boasts many unique traditions. This volume touches on the wide variety of legends, songs and stories and their relationship with the rugged landscape: from standing stones and tales of sea-monsters and mermaids to ghosts, fairies and giants. The book looks at pagan ceremonies and old traditions, and the very Cornish love of singing. It further discusses the Cornish tongue, and the old language of Cornwall. And, of course, no study of Cornwall would be complete without some consideration of King Arthur and his legacy upon the folklore of the county.
