Product Description

A charming snapshot of life in a Victorian fishing village in Cornwall.

This includes stories about all aspects of the fisher folk's lives: their work at sea and on land, their lazy days, their courtship rituals, their numerous superstitions, their interactions with the local 'wise woman' (white witch) and the Cornish piskies, tales of smuggling in the old days, and the scores of fishing tragedies: four generations from one family wiped out in one instant by the cruel sea.

A beautiful bit of pure nostalgia.
