Traditional tales from Cornwall, with maps for stories' locations

7 days ago

Cornwall is rich in myth and legend, with Cornish people being natural storytellers.
Mazed is a collection of over 150 traditional Cornish tales, each mapped to its location for story adventuring.
The tales feature witches, wreckers, saints, mermaids, giants, and mischievous piskeys (Cornish fairies).
Historically, these stories were told by wandering droll storytellers and shared around fires on winter nights.
Mazed honors the folklorists who collected these tales and revives them through animations, illustrations, and community events.
Piskeys are known to 'maze' people, causing forgetfulness; turning pockets inside out is the cure.
Some tales are scary, but a bedtime story button helps find child-friendly options.
The Mazed website encourages retelling and personalizing the stories.
