A chronological summary of all that is known of storytelling in Cornwall, from Bardic times to the present day.

Hwedhlow is the Cornish word for stories. Cornwall has unique folklore, a secret population of piskeys, knockers, spriggans, giants, mermaids, and unlikely heroes and heroines. Their tales have been told for centuries. Where did these tales come from? How old are they? Who told them? Explore the world of epic tales, fireside stories and side-splitting dialect recitations.

AUTHOR: Mike O'Connor is a powerful and engaging storyteller who performs at many events across the country. An important researcher into Cornish music and folklore, he has been awarded the OBE and made a bard of the Gorsedh of Kernow.
