Beautiful and absorbing, this is a deeply personal and wonderfully idiosyncratic travelogue from the author of the Poldark novels.I read the second edition, which includes an introduction by Winston Graham's son, Andrew. He mentions that his usually reserved father revealed more about himself in this book than he ever did in his autobiography, Memoirs of a Private Man (the cover photo also appears in The World of Poldark: Cornwall in Winston Graham's Novels).If you pick up The World of Poldar...

The photos of Cornwall are gorgeous, but the title, "The World of Poldark: Cornwall in Winston Graham's Novels," is a bit misleading. Honestly, too little of the book actually focuses on the Poldark novels themselves. I was really hoping to find out exactly where Winston Graham pictured Nampara, what his mental map looked like for the important estates and all the towns he mentions in the books. There's a pretty basic map tucked in the back, but it takes some real effort to connect the towns fro...
