This week we look at ‘13 Cornish Ghost Stories’ edited by Marie Macneil and Joanne Ella Parsons.

This week’s #WeeklyRead is Our Oaken Bones by Merlin Hanbury‑Tenison. 🌿 A powerful blend of memoir & nature writing, it follows his return to Cabilla on Bodmin Moor and the discovery of rare Atlantic temperate rainforest — and the challenge of restoring it. #kresenkernow #cornwallsarchives
On Sat 21 Feb, 10am–12pm, enjoy story weaving with Cornwall National Landscape!
Meet Drolla, their storytelling bench, and hear tales from Elizabeth Dale (The Cornish Bird Blog). Story sessions: 10:00, 10:45, 11:30. #familycrafts #kresenkernow
Our Weekly Reads continue with A Painter Laureate: Lamorna Birch and his circle by Austin Wormleighton.
Why not come to Kresen Kernow, read this in our library, then enjoy coffee and cake in the Arch Café?
