The Magic Ointment and Other Cornish Legends
by Eric Quayle and Michael Foreman
Published 31 October 1986
This is a collection of twelve traditional Cornish myths and legends set in Cornish settings featuring witches, giants, pixies and a good mixture of heroes and heroines. Michael Foreman has aimed to capture the magical content with atmospheric and witty illustrations. The author has drawn on Robert Hunt's "Popular Romances of the West of England" 1865 for this collection of re-tellings and added tales told to him by the present-day old folk of remote villages in West Penwith. Michael Foreman won the Kate Greenway Medal in 1982 and the Children's Book Award in 1984. His other picturemacs are "I'll Take You to Mrs Cole"; "Trick a Tracker" and "The Crab that Played With the Sea".
