But I read the C of E novels a few years ago...so now you've got me heading for the second hand book shelves in the charity ( thrift) shops of which Pz has too many these days. Have you tried the Winston Graham 'Poldark' series? They are a terrific evocation of late 18 c Cornwall...and then there's Daphne du Maurier's books - very dark and moody...and we've just had the Penzance Literary Festival, where I heard Jane Johnson speak, her book 'The Tenth Gift' starts with a pirate raid on Pz that really happened ....those will keep you going for a bit! Blessings Mary- Beth lovely to know you are out there.

Like a little present for my day. (I can hear that "Ugly Duckling" song from one of the bajillion kids' cd's that my son used to listen to). <br /><br />But also wanted to say you came to mind frequently last month. I decided to read Susan Howatch's earlier books (after reading her C of E novels) and found myself in Cornwall when I got to "Penmarric". SO interesting to get more than history but a sense of place as well.
