Born and brought up near Camborne, Derek R. Williams has retained close links with his Cornish homeland, despite working in the Welsh Marches as a librarian for many years before his recent retirement. He was educated at Redruth Grammar School and the University of Leicester before studying for a Diploma in Education at St Luke’s College, Exeter. Having quickly realised that teaching was not for him, he spent some time gaining library experience in Exeter University Library before studying for a Diploma in Librarianship at Birmingham Polytechnic.
From the 1950s through to the 1990s, Richard Jenkin was at the very centre of Cornish cultural and political life and an important figure in the revival of Cornish consciousness.

This collection of essays celebrates the life and work of Robert Morton Nance (Mordon), artist, folklorist, writer, maritime historian, founder of the Old Cornwall Societies and Grand Bard of the Cornish Gorsedd.
