Poetry on the mount by Humphrey Davy (1799), John Davidson (1909), Richard Carew (1602)

Both William Bottrell and Robert Hunt collected Cornish folklore and made accessible overviews in the 1800s. Without these two folklorists' work, many classic Cornish stories would be lost.

Traditions and Hearthside Stories of West Cornwall (Bottrell, 1870) and Popular Romances of the West of England (Hunt, 1865) are highly recommended.
