Kernow Stories

You may have spotted my Cornishness popping up now and then, and you probably wonder, particularly with the language, what the hell I'm on about. Well, this book will teach you all about it. Cornish language, tradition, folklore, history.... It's time to show you that Cornwall isn't just a random patch sticking off the end of England. Hell no. Cornwall is Kernow. Do you dare delve into the forgotten Celtic nation of Kernow?? (Note- the title is in Kernewk- the traditional Cornish language. It means "The Little Book of Cornish") Find the audio lessons at http://soundcloud.com/cornishflightsoffancy You'll need them for the pronunciation.

When the Romans invade Britain, the Celtic tribes are fragmented and the old magic has long been forgotten. Fedlimid, the daughter of a Cornovii chieftain, is the victim of an inter-tribe dispute but is saved by Druistan, a swineherd from another tribe. As the Romans march westwards, Fedlimid and Druistan are forced to deal with kidnapping, death and betrayal. Growing up in strange lands, away from home, they discover untapped sources of bravery and strength and something even older. But will bravery be enough when the final battle comes? "Stone and Water will sit on your shelf alongside the great historical writers of our childhoods - Roger Lancelyn Green, Rosemary Sutcliff, Henry Treece. James Marshall takes us through a magical gateway to experience everyday life in late Iron Age Britain as the first raiding parties of the Roman Empire reach the Southern tribal domains. You will smell the bonfires and roasting meat, feel the soaking rains of Exmoor, taste the fear as a Roman contingent slashes its way through your dun. A book for young and old alike that will leave you wanting more." Mandi Abrahams, Castle Books. "Stone and Water is a gripping tale of courage, loyalty, loss, betrayal, and revenge that will captivate readers of any age." Leslie Wells

In steampunk London, Lord Silas Barrington is doing what he does best, terrorising the opposition on the cricket field. But watching on is Souris, a small unassuming girl from the kingdom of Kernow, who is one of the few in the braying crowd who doesn't idolise Barrington - in fact, she loathes him and has plans to take him on on the pitch.
