The stories in this book however do not come from the past. They have all happened in my lifetime.</i> At the furthest edge of Britain, where the sea gently washes over the land and myths brush against reality, lies Zennor. Since the beginning of time strange and mysterious things have happened there, and these stories highlight all the most haunting and enchanting events. Once a year, on a misty fall night, there is a pounding of hoof beats as a great white horse comes thundering over the moor in the moonlight. Then there are the old tin miners that Cherry meets when she is cut off by the incoming tide, as well as limping Billy who learns to swim with the seals. The proud Thomas Barbery and the intriguing Mad Miss Marney also add their own stories to this unforgettable collection.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Master British storyteller and Children's Laureate Morpurgo spins tales of gentle fantasy, otherworldly transformations, kind deeds, and just rewards. . . .
