Septimus Heap Book 1
by Angie Sage
Book Reviewed by:This article relates to Magyk
Sage says
that all the locations in the book are inspired by areas
around where she lives, and that the whole 'slightly
off-the-wall felling of the place comes from living in
Cornwall.'
About Cornwall:
The Peninsula at the South-West tip of England is the former
Celtic nation (and now county of) Cornwall.
It's southerly location and the fact that it's on the path
of the Gulf Stream gives it a mild climate which, combined
with its endless beaches, makes it a favorite destination
for British holiday makers (the resident population is about
half a million, but around 4 million visit each year).
The last native Cornish speaker is believed to have died in
1891, but some of the language lives on in the dialect of
local people.
