The work intertwines biographical accounts, folklore, and historical observations, showcasing the unique culture and legends of Cornwall through the narrative lens of a local vicar. The central figure of this collection is Hawker himself, who reflects on the rich heritage of the Cornish people and their traditions. At the start of the text, the author introduces the parish of Morwenstow, depicting it as a historically significant area that has undergone significant transformation over centuries. He describes the wild and rugged landscape shaped by the Atlantic and the Tamar River and highlights the ancient history of its churches and local legends, particularly focusing on St. Morwenna. The opening portion effectively sets the stage for a wider exploration of Cornwall's mythical past and the figures that inhabit its folklore, suggesting that the reader will journey through both poignant histories and whimsical tales, woven together with Hawker’s insightful commentary on the passage of time and the endurance of local customs.
