Vanishing Cornwall

Wrote a review for

Daphne du Maurier’s 1967 homage to Cornwall. Blending historical anecdotes, literary reflections, and landscape descriptors, she described its people, its legends and myths and its fast-fading industries. In fact, a fading world is stark in her writing.

For those who enjoy Cornwall’s past, this is a nice read. May I get back there one day.
