Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. If Puckaster Cove, on the Isle of Wight, us named after Puck, king of the fiaries, surely there must be a fariy tale to go along with it? IIndeed there is such a fantastical tale, penned by Abraham Elder and published in the pages of Bentley's Miscellany in 1839. It tells of a kindly soul, J…ohn Kann, who warns a neighbour not to build on the fairies' playground. The fairy-folk are grateful, and one night treat John Kann, magically reduced in size, Alice in Wonderland style, by a pinch of snuff, to a wonderful feast. And also to a secret that will bring him great reward. But what was that secret? And what happened when John Kann told that secret to another? The original tale is republished here, along a with a more recent retelling of it, and short historical notes on Puckaster Cove, the pilgrim path from Niton to the holy well at Whitwell, and the legend of St. Radegund. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
