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

Informative. Enchanting. Amusing.

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!

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

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. The text varies in colour and size, and is such an easy read that it is ideal for having around when you can grab a few seconds during a busy life. The photos are gorgeous too and to put all of it together must have been a massive task. I haven't had my copy long, but I have friends who have read bits and then bought their own copy. This book and a bottle of wine is going to comprise quite a few Christmas presents this year.
