The first book to look specifically at the movement of Cornish men and women to and from the Caribbean from the early days of colonialism. A fascinating subject for those with an interest in all things Cornish, be they in Cornwall, in the Caribbean, or in the wider Cornish diaspora. The Cornish in the Caribbean is the first study to tell the stories of some of the many Cornish men and women who went to the Caribbean. Some became wealthy plantation owners, while others came as indentured servants and labourers. Cornish men were active in the armed services, taking part in the numerous sea and land battles fought by the competing European powers throughout the region. Cornish officers and crew sailed on the ships of the Falmouth Packet Service which took the mail to and from the Caribbean. Methodism was strong in Cornwall and Methodist missionaries and their wives came to the Caribbean to evangelise both the enslaved and the newly free. The most striking transfer of Cornish skills to the Caribbean was to be found in mining. As Cornish mining declined, and the Great Emigration of miners and their families got underway, Cornish mining engineers, captains and miners went out to mines throughout the Caribbean. “Meticulously researched and highly readable” Bridget Brereton, Professor Emerita, University of the West Indies.

“Cornwall has for centuries been the source of migrants to all parts of the world. This has generated a broad literature on Cornish emigration and the Cornish abroad, much of it concentrated on the better-known destinations of the USA, Australia, and South Africa; related to the international mining industry of the 19th century; and dominated by men and their stories. Appleby breaks the mould by examining the lives of female indentured servants, wives of mariners, miners, and missionaries, and ‘ladies of quality’, who, for many different reasons, spent time in the Caribbean. There has been a gathering tide of research and literature into the lives of Cornish women in recent years but, so far, less work has concentrated on the women of the Cornish diaspora, so this new book is a very welcome addition to that literature.” Dr Lesley Trotter, Honorary Research Fellow, Institute of Cornish Studies, University of Exeter. Wives - Mothers - Daughters - Widows is the first book to examine the lives of Cornish women who left their homes to spend time in the Caribbean colonies.

The Hammers of Towan: A Nineteenth-Century Cornish Family centres around the life of the author's great-grandfather Philip Henry Hammer, his three wives, and his children by his first wife, Jane Opie. The book tells the story of a now vanished world - the life and times of a 19th century Cornish farmer, the tenant of Towan Farm, near St. Austell. Here family life revolved around the big granite-floored farmhouse kitchen where Jane prepared traditional Cornish fare using old recipes - many of which are included in the book. Running Towan as a profitable enterprise was hard work but, throughout the year, the family took part in the many local festivals and traditions that provided a welcome chance to celebrate the changing seasons. The family story plays out against the background of Cornwall's mining industry, once vibrant but now in decline. As the local economy continued to fail, the migration of Cornish men and women in search of employment grew, and all nine of the Philip Henry and Jane's children left Cornwall in search of work, making new lives for themselves and their families. They settled 'up country' in London, in Wales, in South Africa, and in Australia, and some eventually returned to Cornwall where, no matter how long they been gone, they always returned to Towan.

Three evocative titles from 'the Queen of the contemporary Cornish novel' (Guardian) in one ebook boxset! The Cornish House A sweeping, romantic debut set in Cornwall, reminiscent of Rosamunde Pilcher. When artist Maddie inherits a house in Cornwall shortly after the death of her husband, she hopes it will be the fresh start she and her step-daughter desperately need. Trevenen is beautiful but neglected, and as Maddie discovers the stories of generations of women who've lived there before, she begins to feel her life is somehow intertwined within its walls. But Maddie's dream of a calm life in the countryside is far from the reality she faces - and as she pulls at the seams of Trevenen's past, the house reveals secrets that have lain hidden for generations. A Cornish Affair Running out on your wedding day never goes down well. When the pressure of her forthcoming marriage becomes too much, Jude bolts from the church, leaving a good man at the altar, her mother in a fury, and the guests with enough gossip to last a year. Guilty and ashamed, Jude flees to Pengarrock, a crumbling cliff-top mansion in Cornwall, where she takes a job cataloguing the Trevillion family's extensive library. The house is a welcome escape for Jude, full of history and secrets, but when its new owner arrives, it's clear that Pengarrock is not beloved by everyone. As Jude falls under the spell of the house, she learns of a family riddle stemming from a terrible tragedy centuries before, hinting at a lost treasure. And when Pengarrock is put up for sale, it seems that time is running out for the house and for Jude. A Cornish Stranger There's an old Cornish saying: 'Save a stranger from the sea, he'll turn your enemy . . .' When her reclusive grandmother becomes too frail to live alone, Gabriella Blythe moves into the remote waterside cabin on Frenchman's Creek which has been her grandmother's home for decades. Once a celebrated artist, Jaunty's days are coming to a close but she is still haunted by events in her past, particularly the sinking of Lancasteria during the war.

Daughter of a troubled artist, Nessa Penwellyn has always struggled to feel settled. Used to making her way alone, an unusual bequest turns her world upside down. With trepidation Ness exchanges life abroad for her Cornish inheritance, a crumbling castle on St Pirran Island, and solitude for her newly discovered relatives - some more pleased to learn of her existence than others. Resentment, tension and mystery swirl around Pirran Island like deadly currents and the rocks beneath the sea are no less threatening than gathering developers or scheming cousins. Independent and determined, Ness must now decide who to trust in order to prevent the island legacy being lost forever. But can Ness's heart keep her safe from the one man who may cost her everything? Or are deeper secrets hiding within the echoes of the past?

Lovers of Cornwall, smugglers and historical naval fiction, such as Poldark and Sharp, will enjoy this story of coming of age and ascension. John Carter and the Carter family were once legendarysmugglers of Cornwall. Remembered only in Cornish folklore, this is the story a of young man who is not content with his lot. As John Carter sweats blood, working down an old tin mine, he finally decides he has had enough. From decent poverty inGeorgian Cornwall, John joins a crew of smuggling men, against his deeply religious father's wishes. His rise through the smuggling ranks is rapid, and he distributes duty free goods like a natural, having an extraordinary talent for numbers and making deals. He is so good at shifting contraband, that in a matter of years the young prodigy is rubbing shoulders with Lords and Lady's of the Cornish gentry. He very quickly amasses a fortune for himself, as well as his partners who are the most influential folk of Cornwall But jealous eyes from his old masters fall upon him, and attempt to plague his rise to become the King of Prussia Cove. He is desperate however to ascend through the social ranks, and takes reckless risks. His adventures will force him to cross paths with pirates, war mongering French navel forces, and slavers of the Caribbean. Sometimes, even John's silver tongue can't talk himself out of his self made peril, and he must fight with sword and cutlass, fire and shot. With his loyal companion Samuel The Poacher and the rest of the Carter family, John makes a formidable network, and sets up with the cove boys at Prussia Cove. A unique and beautiful base, where he can conceal vast amounts of his contraband in caves from the dreaded Customs Riders and Admiralty. From Prussia Cove he will also meet the love of his life Marie, where he hopes to gaze out at the turquoise sea in wealth, peace and romance. But as his Empire and friends grow, so does his enemies who are bent on his ruin. Along the Cornish, French and Colonial American coasts, John Carter will face war and adventure, love and loss. Yet even in his greatest hour of need, he still finds a way to turn a profit.
