Review

I can't think of a more enjoyable or more illuminating guide to Cornwall than Petroc Trelawny, who knows it intimately, loves it deeply, and shares it generously -- THE REVEREND RICHARD COLES

Utterly engaging and full of sly pleasures .

. . an authoritative, insider's survey of all the high achieving men and women who made Cornwall the fascinating place it is today but also a deeply personal memoir which manages elegantly to sidestep all the usual pitfalls of autobiographies of household names -- PATRICK GALE

Anyone who loves Cornwall and understands its charm will become a complete fan of this.

This beautifully written and very readable book is about Petroc Trelawny.

I thoroughly enjoyed Petroc's gentle humour and acute observations. Plus there is so much wonderful information about Cornish life and history here -- RICK STEIN

The broad knowledge, fluency and personal passions that Petroc Trelawny brings to classical music find a very special voice for Cornwall in all its diverse incarnations.

I loved this book -- LINDA GRANT
