The second series of Hunt’s Cornish collection turns to the legends of the saints — St Leven and his stone, St Sennen and St Just, the Crowza Stones — and then to holy wells, sorcery, charms, superstitions and old festival customs such as the Twelfth-night cake with its hidden sixpence, ring and thimble. Hunt gathered much of it from country people on long walks through Cornwall.
A foundational record of Cornish folklore, complete in itself and still mined by folklorists. Download the free EPUB.
