Beautiful & absorbing, this is a very personal, very idiosyncratic travel journey from the author of the Poldark novels.I read the second edition, which means there was an introduction by the late author's son Andrew. He writes that his normally reserved father revealed far more about himself in this book than he did in his official autobiography, Memoirs of a Private Man (the photo on this cover also appears in this book.)If you read this book wanting more information about the Poldark...

This book contained some beautiful pictures. It helped me visualize the setting as I was reading the book. Loved Loved Loved these books and also the movie on Amazon Prime!

This is a gorgeous coffee table book for anyone who enjoys armchair traveling to gorgeous landscapes. Windswept Cornwall reminds me a lot of Cape Cod or coastal Maine with their rough rocks and sandy beaches but apparently, Cornwall is much warmer and rainier. Winston Graham reflects on his wonderful years in Cornwall and his visits later in life after he moved away. He discusses some of the inspirations for the locations and characters in the saga. Did you know Demelza and Warleggan are place n...

This book is not about our lovely Poldark from the show. There are two pictures of him in the book and one of Demelza. This is about beautiful Cornwall and Winston Graham talking about growing up there, the show and other things. There is a book about the current show and all that goes on there. I forgot the name, but it's on my Amazon wishlist =) I got this for the beautiful pictures. I'm going to be adding some of the pictures that I took from my own book. I will add the captions from the pict...

Poldark's Cornwall is a memoir of Winston Graham's love and life of Cornwall. He lived in Perranporth for a time and was inspired to write his Poldark series, which I love. The book is full of historical information and anecdotes of his life as well as information for the Poldark fan (of course) about places that inspired the locations in his books and the characters.Reading this book you don't just gain the urgent need to discover Cornwall for yourself but you also gain an insight into the mind...

Beautiful photos of Cornwall, but the title was misleading---too little of the book was devoted to the Poldark novels. I was hoping to discover where Mr. Graham had set Nampara, the geographical layout in his head of the prominent manors in the novels and the towns referred to. Only a basic map on the last pages oriented one and it took determined efforts to find towns in the novels and towns photographed in the book. As so often happens with beautiful books of the type, it appears the photos ar...

A beautiful journey through Cornwall taken with a writer who had an enduring passion for the Duchy.

Some stunning photographs of Cornwall with updated information and pictures for fans of the new BBC series.

This book is a must for anyone who has fallen in love with Cornwall through Graham's books. He talks about his own experiences there and many of the features that appear directly or indirectly in the novels. I read it before I visited Cornwall for the first time, and it gave me very good direction in terms of seeking the places I wanted most to see.

Once you have fallen in love with the Poldark family, I recommend this non-fiction book written by the author of the the Poldark series. It is full of wonderful photography of Cornwall. I found it in the Durham, North Carolina library.
