"Along with the Trelawnys, each of the principal Cornish families has its own fascinating story which forms part of the rich heritage of Cornwall and sets that county apart from its neighbours. [This book] realtes the history of twenty-two families, their houses and estates, and describes within the context of national history the part each has played in the politics, commerce and the arts of their day. ... Here, for the first time, is an accessible study of the vital role played by the great families of Cornwall in shaping the affairs of the county and the nation, studying their ups and downs; their great men and women as well as the odd black sheep."
