Best Goon Brèn

THE BEAST OF BODMIN MOOR

Watch out... the Beast is about! This story for young readers is based on the mysterious legend of the Beast of Bodmin Moor. The acclaimed Cornish writer Alan M. Kent tells the charming tale of how a big cat came to wander the wild landscape of Cornwall. Filled with delight and wonder, this is a tale to enrich the imagination and stay long in the memory. The illustrations are by Gabrielle Cailes, an artist who knows Cornwall intimately. With wonderful spirit, colour, and energy, writer and illustrator capture the detail of the story and its thrilling sense of place. The tale is presented bilingually with a vibrant modern translation into Cornish by Neil Kennedy.
