Cornwall's own particular fairy folk are the Piskeys, and legends about them are as plentiful as sea shells. Living in the cliffs or on the moors, they were known to lead a prankish, but often useful, existence, always exceedingly merry. Some believe that they were once related to a pygmy race of Neolithic times; others hold to an earlier notion that they were Druids.... It was always thought they had lived before and, "not good enough for heaven or bad enough for hell," remained on earth.... Yes, Cornwall is a land where almost anything may happen, where legends brood and the past is hugged closely like a cloak.
