Cornish myths and tales for Children
Books by Cheryl Manley
Alongside my book on Cornish industrial history is a growing series of books that takes the myths and legends behind the landscape and transforms them into enchanting stories for young children. They are in a style that young children will love, with illustrations that young children will adore.
The Mermaid of Seaton
A mermaid, a fisherman and a vengeful sea. This is a tale from South East Cornwall that all children who love mermaids will read over and over again.
