Volume 2 of 4. This collection of West Country stories was dedicated to the son of the author's Chief, in the hope that it may add to the interest which was felt in a people of whom a large number looked with respect on Mac Callen Mor, as the head of their tribe. Amidst curious rubbish you will find sound sense if you look for it. You will find the creed of the people, as shown in their stories, to be that wisdom and courage, though weak, may overcome strength and ignorance and pride: that the most despised is often the most worthy; that small beginnings lead to great results.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
