About This Book

A selective introduction to Devon and Cornwall combining local history, ethnology, landscape description, and folklore, arranged as short chapters on villages, churches, towns, and antiquities. The text surveys regional types, dialects, customs, and folk music; offers biographical sketches and saintly traditions; and examines Dartmoor’s prehistoric remains alongside accounts of rural occupations, markets, and coastal life. Emphasizing memorable incidents and local color rather than comprehensive chronology, the work aims to prepare visitors and curious readers to notice and appreciate the people, places, and traditions of the western counties.
