The West Country's vibrant history is filled with a colorful cast of historical figures and intriguing tales, ranging from Lawrence of Arabia's daring motorbike adventures across Dartmoor to the chilling account of a lion attack on the Exeter mail coach. Devonian wives were still being sold at auction until the 1900s, and the enigmatic Devils footprints at Dawlish remain unsolved. This collection of amusing, surprising, and downright odd true stories from Devon and Cornwall reveals the truth about Arthurs Lyonesse, the murderous pirate queen of Penryn, and the Cornish knight who ordered his corpse to overlook St Mullion for eternity.
