Or the drolls, traditions and superstitions of Old Cornwall. The romances collected in this volume give the tourist the means of restoring the giants and the fairies to their native haunts. None of the legends found within were invented by the author. They were all gathered in their native homes, more than a century previously. This is a timely reprint of a valuable book. Hunt made detailed and systematic studies of oral tradition in the West of England, ranging beyond his native Cornwall. A much needed contribution to this important field of literary research.
