Fact, folklore and superstition collide as we invesitage Cornwall from the comfort of Mr Proctor's library.

***Parents Guardians Adults & young Adults***

This story is from my newly published anthology - The Vending Machine Birth and other stories of Japan - available through Amazon

This book is NOT aimed at young readers however today's story is suitable for this podcast though it does hint at adult themes around loss and is longer than usual episodes.

As previously mentioned the podcast is free and without ads so if you like what I do this is a good opportunity to support the show and get something in return. Kindle copy is the price of a coffee, please purchase and leave an honest review!
