" CORNWALL is the land of echoes ; spirit echoes

; echoes of the past." In the pages of this new book by Miss Rogers .these echoes can be heard. The author gives many impres- sions of the strange magic of Cornwall and of the people who are under its spell. She recounts the stories told in the Punch Bowl and Ladle Inn at the end of market day, the memories of Tabitha Roskilly who " never 'ad more'n

i

waun bottle o' medicine in ninety year," and she describes the coast with its " headlands fronting the Atlantic in proud defiance of the foam and spray."
