Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book begins by discussing the Cornish language and its evolution over time in comparison to the Celtic languages. It offers samples of the language from medieval times, through its decline in polite society, and its status as a language spoken primarily by the working class. The author then moves on to discuss the history of the county of Cornwall in medieval times, touching on topics such as the Dukes of Cornwall, the Cornish language, common Cornish names, and the history of Cornish surnames. A large section of the book then focuses on Cornish folklore, including stories of saints, giants, and a collection of myths and legends from the region. The author includes a variety of fairytales, and concludes with a discussion of more recent cultural artifacts like carols and songs related to Cornish history.
