`Deserves its place alongside the classics of the period.' WMN
`A very detailed and keenly observed record of agricultural life in West Penwith. There is much of human warmth here, which creates a rich account of a community and its land.' QuayPublications
`I fully appreciate the excellence and value of this work. A solid yet fluent study. Sections on the background of buildings, house and garden at Tremedda; animal husbandry; fieldwork; associated activities like transport, mining, granite work; the social and domestic scene. Appendices provide details of neighbours then living in Zennor and the local dialect and surviving Cornish language.' Cornish Banner
