Fairytales are folktales spun for children, solidified into print, with a compulsory happy ending. Elowen and the Bramble Bush first appeared in Cornish Saints and Sinners, The Piskey Spoon and other fairytales were written by Enys Tregarthen and Thomasine Bonaventure’s true tale(she was Cornwall’s own Dick Whittington) was documented by Robert Hawker: all these Cornish fairytales bring hope and delight.
