Cornish Characters and Strange Events

Description

Cornish Characters and Strange Events is a book by Sabine Baring-Gould, first published in 1909. The book consists of stories from the people of Cornwall, about things that had happened to them, or tales that they had heard passed down from their families and friends. The majority of the chapters are the names of the people telling the account, and the book itself is a fascinating glimpse into the history of this English county. As the author states in his preface, these are not stories of the famous people who have come out of Cornwall, but of the 'lesser luminaries'.

This book has 209,008 words, 356 pages in the PDF version, and was originally published in 1909.
