Enys Tregarthen

3.9/5 ( ratings)
Born
December 28 1851
. The British author and folklorist Enys Tregarthen wrote children’s stories based upon legends of her native Cornwall. She collected and recorded many stories about the Piskey folk, fairies of Cornish myth and legend.

Born Nellie Sloggett on Dec. 29, 1851, in Padstow, Cornwall, England, she suffered a devastating spinal illness at age 17 and was paralyzed for the rest of her life. She began to keep diaries about flowers, the changing seasons, and birds and other creatures, all observed from her bedside window. This practice eventually led to the writing and publication of her first book, Daddy Longlegs, and His White Heath Flower, in 1885 under the pseudonym Nellie Cornwall. In time she came to devote much of her attention to Cornish folklore and legend. She published most of her works in this category under the pen name Enys Tregarthen.

Tregarthen died in October 1923. After her death, the writer Elizabeth Yates edited her extensive unpublished materials for publication. The resulting volumes included Piskey Folk: A Book of Cornish Legends , The Doll Who Came Alive , and The White Ring .
