Overview
Did you hear about the Redruth girl who vomited snails?
Or how the saint of Gunwalloe saved his sister’s eye from a goose?
Can you cure warts with a slug, or whooping cough with spiders?
In A Cornish Bestiary you’ll find familiar faunal favourites like the red-eyed Owlman, ominous Black Dogs and the iconic Cornish Chough, alongside more reclusive specimens.
From Camborne’s frog king and Ladock’s feathered fiend to a horrifying plague of flies and an absence of wolves, this illustrated compendium of Cornwall’s most curious creatures brings together stories from natural history and folklore, broadside ballads and news reports, celebrating the wonderful history we share with the animals around us.
