Bride of Quietness: Ithell Colquhoun in Cornwall

The Living Stones by artist and writer Ithell Colquhoun was first published in 1957.

It is an evocative and much-loved account of Cornwall, centred on its history, folklore and magic.

In Bride of Quietness Rupert White revisits the places and people described in Colquhouns book.

He describes her later life in Lamorna and Mousehole, and considers the ways that Cornwall

has changed in the intervening years.
