E-text prepared by Lionel Sear "Cornwall's Wonderland" by Mabel Quiller-Couch is a collection of folkloric tales inspired by the legends and romances of Cornwall, likely written in the early 20th century. This enchanting work aims to make these stories more accessible to children and adults alike, preserving the rich cultural heritage of Cornwall while simplifying the language for contemporary readers. The tales feature a range of magical characters, including giants, fairies, and brave heroes, bringing to life the mystical landscape of Cornwall. At the start of the book, the author introduces the legendary battle between the Trojans, led by Brutus and Corineus, and the giants of Cornwall. This initial tale depicts how the giants, initially thought to be invincible, are bested by the clever and skillful bravery of Corineus. The giant Gogmagog ultimately falls to Corineus' strength and strategy, leading to the gradual conquest of the land by the Trojans. This narrative sets the tone for the subsequent stories that explore other facets of Cornish mythology, including encounters with fairies and magical creatures, weaving a rich tapestry of folklore that celebrates the enchanting world of Cornwall.
