Cornish language, the care community and witches

In case you missed a series of (mostly) short reviews of a selection of recent academic literature that I put on this site in the latter part of 2023 here’s a one-sentence summary of each to save you having to read them.

Helen Cornish takes a walk on the weird side and goes in search of the uncanny with some witches at Boscastle.
