Product Description
Review
I think this book perfectly captures Cornwall as if it flashed before your eyes. Delightful facts, obscure references, irreverent humour and useful knowledge all rolled into a bite sized package. What more do you want from a book? I will certainly be giving it to everyone I know, even the Cornish. --Tim Smit CEO Eden Project
Product Description
The Little Book of Cornwall is an ecclectic mix of facts, figures, statistics and trivia about Cornwall.

Brimming with facts and figures on just about anything and everything Cornish, this delightful book is guaranteed to inform and amuse. Published in a rainbow of colour, the enthralling text is accompanied by some beautiful and captivating photography. The Little Book of Cornwall is an enchanting read and should belong on all our bookshelves. The dilemma lies in which section to house it - General Knowledge? Travel? History? Humour? You decide. And, if you can't, display it on your coffee table and let others share in your enjoyment and good taste!

A delight of a book, full of fascinating facts on Cornwall, with a good dose of humour from the author's witty comments!

In times where people lack focusing and claim to have so many different things to do, this book reflects what people urge. Facts, entertainment, vibrancy, merging tradition and modern spirit; information packed in refreshing language, embedded in colourful pictures. For me as a German who travels once or twice to Cornwall in a lifetime but being a modern person aquainted to english life I need Zeitgeist reading. Well Done and thank you!!

Worst Book on Cornwall
Regrettably, I have to say that this is probably the worst book I have seen on Cornwall for a very long time.

Just has to be the BEST book for a fiver!
The dry humour of the author brings a frequent smile as you read this book, and the information about Cornwall is so varied and interesting that it's hard to put this book down. Read more
