A beautifully illustrated guide to the Cornish locations that inspired
Pilcher's writing
Rosamunde Pilcher grew up near St Ives, publishing her first novel at
the age of 25. Cornwall, in the very southwest of England, remained her
long-standing inspiration, with most of her novels set in this
wonderfully diverse landscape.
Her most famous novel, The Shell Seekers, catapulted Rosamunde to
international fame and created a dedicated fan-base. From the elegance
of the grand salons of Padstow's Prideaux Place, to the wild and remote
Cornish coastline, Rosamunde Pilcher captured in her novels Cornwall's
unique, diverse beauty and compelling charm.
This new Pitkin guide takes the reader on a tour of the key areas and
places that inspired Pilcher's writing, making her novels and short
stories some of the most popular and cherished around the world and the
subject of several television adaptations.
