| book description |

In Cornwall the tradition of storytelling goes back a long way. Years ago â€œdrollingâ€, telling stories around the fire on the long nights, was a natural part of life there, and to this day out of the way country pubs still hold â€˜story telling nightsâ€™. This book is a collection of such stories, all but one set in Cornwall. Some of them, of course, involve the sea and all that flows from it. Others have a background in the mining days of two hundred years ago, But Cornwall is far more than itsâ€™ history. â€˜The Short Order Chefâ€™ is a story about the very modern dilemma of working in a county where most employers shut down for half the year, and one manâ€™s very innovative solution to this situation. â€˜The Kronekâ€™ is a story about the conflict between the incomer community and the established locals. â€˜Moonlight on the Waterâ€™ is a tale of ancient belief meeting modern life, and â€˜********************â€™ is about the minerâ€™s legend about the little people. And of course, there is the tradition of piracy and smuggling. â€™Captain Averyâ€™s Emeraldâ€™ is a sideways look at time and history that refuses to lie down and die peacefully. All the stories stand alone, and they all have a very dark heart. If you like your stories with a dark twist this one is for you.
