It’s easy to lose all sense of time in such beautiful surroundings, as poet and nature-lover Marc Harris found during a cycling and walking odyssey across southern Cornwall in the summer of 2012. In Cornish Time, Marc relates his often gruelling but always spectacular journey across Cornwall, from the rugged cliffs of the Lizard Peninsula, to the incredible Lost Gardens of Heligan, to the lovely town of Fowey. In addition, a guide to some of Cornwall’s best tourist attractions and towns is also included, to help you discover some Cornish time for yourself in this beautiful county.

A young girl waits on a storm-tossed beach for a mother lost at sea. A ferryman guides strange passengers to a village in ruins. Spirits lurk in a sunken warship to protect the creatures below. And high in a clock tower, two peregrines roost. This is a world both familiar and strange, a landscape beautiful and wild, where history hangs heavy and tragedy has left its mark. Where spectral guardians walk and ancient spirits rule the woods, and where the rivers keep their secrets.Combining a love of the natural world and the gothic, Marc Harris has crafted a collection of short stories and poetry that brings a haunted Britain to life.

"Beslutet att sälja den befintliga synagogan i Gamla stan fattades redan på 1860-talet. Istället skulle man låta uppföra en ny och ståtlig gudstjänstlokal i stadens nya centrum. Detta blir upptakten till ett helt nytt kapitel i svenskjudisk historia. Den nya synagogan skulle ligga inom broarna eller "strax i början av Malmarna", på en fri plats och inte emellan boningshus. Den skulle ligga i en "fridfull trakt" och inte vid ett handelstorg eller nära bullersam trafik och vara stor nog att rymma en byggnad i väst-östlig längdriktning - allt i enighet med den judiska religionens krav. Detta delikata uppdrag leddes av "Hasselbackskungen" Wilhelm Davidson, David Hirsch och Edvard Josephson. De hade fått vetskap om den "Wahrendorffska tomten", som låg mellan Kungsträdgården och nyanlagda Berzelii park, mitt emot splitternya Berns salonger, som Wilhelm Davidsons bror, konditorn August Davidson låtit uppföra. Församlingen tvekade. Nämnda tomt låg ju så långt borta från stadens centrum! Men Wilhelm Davidson och David Hirsch led inte av beslutsångest. Här gällde det att handla snabbt och beslutsamt innan priset for upp i höjden. Sagt och gjort - på eget bevåg köpte Davidson och Hirsch den Wahrendorffska tomten. Först därefter erbjöds församlingen att utan vinning köpa ut dem. Och så blev det!"
