Winston Graham’s saga of Cornish life in the eighteenth century has enthralled readers throughout
the world for seventy years and the wild landscapes that inspired the novels have – even today –
remained relatively unchanged. Cornwall then was a perilous world of pirates and shipwrecks, of
rugged coast and mysterious smugglers’ coves, of windswept moors and picturesque villages such as
