Books for Learning Cornish


I found this book at a library book sale a few years ago (my copy's blue, not that that makes any difference...). It's a short book that provides a basic overview of Cornish grammar. The site where it's sold, Agan Tavas, features a range of other books as well as a blog with information about the language and several pieces translated into Cornish for reading practice. Some of these are free downloads with illustrations (Follow the "Free Books" link from the main page--super cool stuff here!). This translation of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" is lovely. And, if you happen to be visiting Cornwall, check out their calendar for language-supporting events in the area.
