The book showcases a series of old legends from the western regions of Britain, particularly Cornwall and Wales, brought to life for contemporary readers. These stories, steeped in local tradition, explore themes of love, adventure, and the supernatural, drawing largely from the rich cultural heritage of the areas served by the Great Western Railway.
