520 _a"North Cornwall Fairies and Legends" by Enys Tregarthen is a collection of fairy tales and folklore written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the rich tapestry of Cornish mythology, focusing on local fairies known as Piskeys and recounting their whimsical adventures and the legends associated with them, set against the backdrop of North Cornwall's enchanting landscapes. The stories emanate a sense of nostalgia and cultural heritage, making them appealing not only to children but to readers of all ages who appreciate folklore and fantasy. The opening of the collection introduces readers to the magical realm of the Piskeys, beginning with an endearing tale about a Piskey who loses his laugh amidst merry dancing near Tintagel Castle. As he grapples with this strange affliction, we learn about the close-knit community of Piskeys who delight in merriment and dance. The narrative unravels with charming dialogue and descriptions of the Piskeys’ quirky nature, setting the stage for the Piskey's journey to find his laughter, which takes him to various mythical figures, including the wise Granfer Piskey, the elusive Lantern Man, and even the legendary Giant Tregeagle. This whimsical and heartfelt storyline encapsulates the overarching themes of friendship, adventure, and the enduring belief in magic within the Cornish landscape.
