Edited by J.C. Trewin, this celebrated anthology brings together an eclectic mix of prose, poetry, and personal reflection from some of Britain's most distinguished writers, artists, and thinkers, all united by their deep connection to Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, and beyond. With a foreword by H.R.H. The Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall, the collection carries an authority and affection that sets it apart from more conventional regional anthologies.\n\nTrewin, himself a proud Cornishman and one of Britain's foremost theatre critics and literary figures, curates these voices with a sure and sympathetic hand, allowing the landscape itself — its brooding moors, dramatic coastlines, and ancient villages — to emerge as the true protagonist. The anthology illustrates how the West Country has shaped the British imagination across centuries, from seafaring legend to pastoral idyll, and presents a portrait of a place that is at once fiercely local and universally resonant. Whether you are a native of the region or a curious traveller, this collection will leave you yearning to walk its cliffs and listen to its tides.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49342768546011,"sku":"2026100008669-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1f1fc00e-b367-4036-bdda-41858ab1782d.png?v=1790048844","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008669-secondhand-the-west-country-book","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
