Short Stories

'So if you happen to be walking up towards Zennor Quoit... and if you hear the pounding of hoof beats and see a white horse come out of the moon and thunder over the moor, you will know it is... the white horse of Zennor.' The white horse will always be a reminder of the help the knocker gave Annie and Arthur when they met on the moor. And Cherry also has an unusual meeting, this time with old tin miners still working an abandoned mine who help her find her way home, but not in a way she expects. 'Limping Billy' finds a new way to travel, beyond the taunt of his cruel classmates. The proud Thomas Barbery and the intriguing Mad Miss Marney also add their own tales to this haunting collection.
