The Wizard of West Penwith: A Tale of the Land's-End
About This Book
The narrative is set in a coastal Cornish community and blends local color and folklore with a mystery-driven plot and romantic entanglements. A notorious conjuror and a violent death trigger misidentification, secrets, and investigations that involve several families and lovers. Episodes shift between village gossip, social gatherings, and tense incidents — a perilous ride near a cliff, midnight sounds from the earth, a stolen or hidden treasure, and a late confession — and move through disappointment, retrospection, and revelation toward reconciliation and a final unearthing of a valued gem and a wedding.
