It's an abridgement for young readers and learners of Cornish, so
nothing so grand as "Cuairt na Cruinne in Ochtó Lá". (Few speakers of
Cornish could manage the full book, I fear; the language is still in
revival.)

I will, certainly. It's currently in the translation process. The book
is 80pp long and contains 35 or so of the original illustrations. I
can say we're very proud of the cover, which colourizes the original
frontispiece very sensitively.
