"It is very unwholesome because the hills hinder the approach of the sun until nine or ten o'clock in the morning and it lies in a great marsh full of bogs,fogs and other things. . ." So,in his characteristically vivid style, Peter Mundy describes the 17thC seaport of Alleppo.Son of a merchant family that settled for some years at Penryn in Cornwall,Mundy recorded his several journeys throughout Europe and India in order that his friends might "understand somewhat of Forraigne Countries".Of particular interest to the student of Cornish history today is the account of Cornwall and the area around Penryn in the mid-1600s.In this edition John Keast has performed the valuable task of editing and revising the text without altering the essential character of the original work.For the first time Mundy's fascinating narrative is made available to the general reader.
