9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. A Time Gone Forever By Roger Buckingham To a lover of Social History in general and that of Cornwall in particular, this book is a 'must'.Quiller-Couch (Q) wrote 'The Delectable Duchy' with a love and a respect for the common man. Cornwall is a part of England where a comfortable living was almost always out of reach of the average inhabitant relying as they did on two staples : mining and fishing. Mining has always depended on the market price for metal. In Newlyn they call the south east wind the 'starvation wind' because the fishing boats could not enter or leave harbour in the days when sail was the only propulsion system.'Q' captures the mood of the times so well that the reader can almost smell the salt wind and old ropes: the mewing of the seagulls and the ferocity of the ever present wind. He can and does lapse into the vernacular very well which gives added emphasis to the poignancy of some of the stories.This is a collection of short stories, with each one a different facet of the Cornish psyche. Tears of sympathy, empathy and, conversely, laughter follow each other very quickly.To a reader interested in conditions of the late 1800's, I thoroughly recommend this book.R.E. Buckingham July 12 2000
