His first name is shared with one of Cornwall's most celebrated saints, his second is the name of its unofficial national anthem. But when a stranger challenges the Radio 3 presenter on his ancestry, he is inspired to return to the lands of his boyhood to rediscover the place where he grew up, and attempt to confirm if he still belongs there. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart history, part memoir, this is a deeply felt exploration of Cornwall -  past, present and future.  Petroc embarks on a slow journey that sees him visit old mine workings, ancient churches, sites where new technology was forged, and places where poets, musicians, architects and film makers have worked to shape Cornwall's cultural identity.  He explores the Tamar, the river that marks out the Cornish frontier, and holds a finger up to winds of change, exploring the collapse of Methodism, the decline of the Cornish language, and the complex , sometimes lucrative, sometimes destructive, relationship with tourism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs he travels by road, rail and foot, he conjures marvellously vivid figures and scenes from memory, telling the stories of a loving family full of mysteries and a landscape still redolent of 'Cornish otherness'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55206418645365,"sku":"9781474625104","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781474625104.jpg?v=1786021114"},{"product_id":"9780711294677","title":"Petroc Trelawny's Classical Music Puzzle Book","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoin Petroc Trelawny on a journey through the rich world of classical music, where great composers, fun facts and clever puzzles bring its stories to life.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by the renowned BBC broadcaster Petroc Trelawny, with puzzles by Dr Gareth Moore and Laura Jayne Ayres, this stylish and entertaining book is the perfect blend of classical music knowledge and puzzle-solving fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePetroc Trelawny is one of the most recognizable voices in classical music broadcasting, known for presenting BBC Radio 3’s In Tune and formerly Breakfast, as well as anchoring coverage of the BBC Proms and other major national events.
