Ranging from Robert Hunt's forgotten letters in \u003ci\u003eAthenaeum\u003c\/i\u003e on witches and pixies riding horses to Samuel Cornish foolishly whistling in a mine, it offers a fascinating look into Victorian and Edwardian perspectives on magical and uncanny beliefs in Cornwall. With pieces both scholarly and fanciful, \u003ci\u003ePiskies, Ghosts and Conjurers\u003c\/i\u003e revives long-forgotten voices and stories, capturing a pivotal moment when old traditions still lingered but were swiftly vanishing. The collection is rounded off with Dawson Scott's 'The Fairies in Cornwall', an essay written in the 1920s for the Fairy Investigation Society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e S.
