A Cornish Story
by
Owen Bullock


Centring on the character of Melville, a labourer in the 1980’s China Clay mines of Cornwall. The world is ruffled, Melville is suspected of a crime of which he’s innocent, though tempted to commit. Redundancy looms, so does the prospect of an unexpected relationship.
Told through phonetic and poetic prose it’s combines Cornish & dialect interest.

Dreckly
a collection of possibilities
by
Les Merton

A collection of speculative or futuristic writing which at times digs into the bedrock of Cornwall and its legends. The end of the world in Delhi is examined and a stark warning about space stations is issued, while a shot in the arm of a virtual-reality make-love-now injection compensates.

A Visitor to Cornwall

By Joanna Mattingly (Illustrations)

& Stephen Tyrell (text)

This book won a Commendation in the 2008 Gorseth Kernow's Holyer and Gof competition for publishers of Cornish books 

Once in a while there is a book which truly deserves the epithet ‘charming’ and this is one such.

Joanna Mattingly, well known to local historians throughout Cornwall, developed early in life a passion for sketching and watercolours.    She has another love too – for Cornwall’s old buildings, and the two are here combined in a delightful portrayal of the atmosphere as well as the likenesses of seventy buildings.   

The publication itself is of very high quality and good to handle.   It is satisfying to see an art book printed in Cornwall (by Booth’s of Mabe) as most seem to be produced overseas these days.
