The Granite Kingdom - A Cornish Journey (Hardcover)

A fascinating, lyrical account of an east-west walk across
Britain's westernmost and most mysterious region. A distant and
exotic Celtic land, domain of tin-miners, pirates, smugglers and
evocatively named saints, somehow separate from the rest of our
island... Few regions of Britain are as holidayed in, as well-loved
or as mythologized as Cornwall. From the woodlands of the Tamar
Valley to the remote peninsula of Penwith – via the wilderness of
Bodmin Moor and coastal villages where tourism and fishing find an
uneasy coexistence – Tim Hannigan undertakes a zigzagging journey
on foot across Britain's westernmost region to discover how the
real Cornwall, its landscapes, histories, communities and sense of
identity, intersect with the many projections and tropes that
writers, artists and others have placed upon it. Combining
landscape and nature writing with deep cultural inquiry, The
Granite Kingdom is a probing but highly accessible tour of one of
Britain's most popular regions, juxtaposing history, myth, folklore
and literary representation with the geographical and social
reality of contemporary Cornwall.
