Description

Trelawny's Cornwall is a deeply personal exploration of the author's Cornish heritage, tracing the connection between his family's past and the ancient Trelawnys of old. When a mysterious stranger challenged his ancestry, Petroc Trelawny embarked on a journey to uncover the truth behind local legends and the shifting winds of change.

Through vivid scenes and figures drawn from his memory, Trelawny conjures a rich tapestry of Cornwall's past, present, and future. He holds a finger up to the forces of change, revealing the mysteries and complexities of a landscape still redolent of its unique 'Cornish otherness'.

This is a story of belonging, identity, and the power of place to shape our lives. With marvellously vivid prose, Trelawny invites readers to join him on a journey of discovery, one that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt a deep connection to a particular place or heritage.
