Oall Rite!
What a great book, especially if you're Cornish, and like me, don't live their any more. By writing the book using local dialect spellings and phoenetics, even to the non-Cornish reader (ie without an accent), reading it out loud will make you think again. Full of fun, wit and humour, and taking obvious delight in the language and nuances of the dialect, this book is tremendous fun. Not high brow, but good just ol' cornish fun me 'ansum!
