Wandering in Cornwall: Mystery, Mirth and Transformation in the Land of Ancient Celts

Award-winning anthology at the Paris Book Festival, London Book Festival, Indiefab Book Awards, and 2016 Next Generation Indie Book Awards! This time Wanderland Writers venture deep into Cornwall, exploring its craggy coasts, its castles, its contrasts. They find, of course, its legacy of Camelot, the lingering shadows of Arthurian legend, tragic love, magic, and Merlin. They also find its sorrows, buried deep in its history like the now closed mines, where the windswept moors and jagged coasts made everyday events of shipwrecks, isolation, cave-ins. Yet, as workshop leaders Joanna Biggar and Linda Watanabe McFerrin and their fellow travelers discover, that is not the whole story. They also encounter the wonderful and hospitable Cornish, with their enchanting accents, their delightful yarns, their humor, their endurance. They wander, bicycle, hike and kayak to explore hills, waterways, villages and moors in search of the spirit of artists and writers who have come before them to leave an imprint on this untamed land.
