Michael Penguyne; Fisher Life on the Cornish Coast, by William H G
Kingston.
________________________________________________________________________
In this rather short book Kingston tells us of the hard life and its few
pleasures of the fisher-folk of Cornwall. Gales and a forbidding
coast-line can often spell disaster to the poor fisherman caught out in
a rising tempest. Yet throughout this he and his family, with few
exceptions, remain steadfast and God-fearing, with relatives springing
to the aid of orphans and wives following a tragedy.
Kingston is here at his most persuasively Christian, arguing that both
the good things of life and the bad, are dealt out to us by an
all-seeing fatherlike God.
It does not take long to read, but you will certainly enjoy it. As it
probably didn't take long to write it is not one of Kingston's great
masterpieces, but it is certainly worth taking note of.
