Magic and Mischief: Tales from Cornwall

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Anthony Bacon Venti. Piskies, Knackers, and Bucca-boo are just some of the not-quite-human creatures who bedevil the foolish and heedless of Cornwall in these ten supernatural tales. Each entertaining story features a biography and a dark, craggy oil painting of its profiled creature; an opinionated omniscient narrator (someone is "ugly as a nightmare"); and a page of relevant tidbits, such as "How to Scare a Spriggan." Glos.
