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 Colquhoun's book.
He describes her later life in Lamorna and Mousehole, and considers the ways that Cornwall
has changed in the intervening years.

Bride of Quietness elucidates the many mysteries of Colquhoun's fascinating Cornish odyssey. Ruth Guilding (Bible of British Taste)
A brilliant piece of research, and a must for any fan of Ithell Colquhoun. Lally MacBeth (The Lost Folk)
