About this book
The title page of The Story of an Ancient Parish: Breage with Germoe, by H. R. Coulthard, promises some account of its Armigers, Worthies and Unworthies, Smugglers and Wreckers, Its Traditions and Superstitions. A dedication says the small volume is dedicated to the friends and neighbours who in the first place suggested the writing of it by telling stories of the days of their fathers. The contents list names, among others, chapters titled The Celtic Period, The Saxons and From the Norman Conquest to the Reformation.
The text says that one part of the faith of these ancient Ivernians and Celts that has lingered on to our own times is the deeply cherished belief in Fairies. The text says that, unfortunately for Henry Eusticke, he lived in different times from those of his easy-going predecessors. The text says that it is round the piskies, indeed, that the great mass of Cornish folk beliefs cling.
