Why wouldn’t you like to receive either a Cornish hug or a Cornishman’s gift (i.e. a Cornish compliment)? What was a Cornishman’s handshake? What type of vegetable is a Cornish King? How large was a Cornish acre? What is a Rock Cornish? And what is the difference between a Cornish White and a White Cornish? Many of us will know who the Cornish Nightingale was. But who was the Cornish Cinderella? And who was the Cornish Bluebeard? Where is the Cornish Atlantis? And why couldn’t you climb the Cornish Alps? How many minutes behind GMT is Cornish Time? Which school has been called the Cornish Eton? And what do the colours of Cornish tartan symbolize? This book is the first ever collection of phrases and terms which contain the word ‘Cornish’ and it will delight everyone who loves Cornish culture.
