This is the enchanting story of a little girl called Wendy who lives on a farm on Dartmoor in Devon. On a winter's day she meets Pegasus, a mythical white horse with wings. Soon they become friends and the story unfolds of their adventures together.Wendy and Pegasus and the other characters in the book are fictitious. However, the locations described are real places in Devon. Widecombe in the Moor is a small village on Dartmoor and Fairy Cove is a beautiful cove near Paignton in Devon.

The Adventures of Neptune tells the story of Neptune, a mighty dolphin, who lives in the sea on the English Riviera on the south coast of Devon. The story tells of his adventures with his friends, Dolly and Devon, a dolphin mother and her calf, and the charismatic pirate Captain James Sylvester Pendragon of Penzance. The tale also has a special guest: Miranda, the Princess of the Sea, who is a beautiful mermaid. In this adventure, Neptune has a brief encounter with another dolphin and the two seem to get on well. Could this be the beginnings of romance for our hero?

This is the second book in the Princess of the Sea series, about the adventures of Miranda, the mermaid, and her friends. Captain James Sylvester Pendragon, a notorious buccaneer from Penzance, is cast adrift in an open boat in the choppy waters of the English Channel. Luckily, help is at hand when Miranda swims to their rescue.

The Princess of the Sea tells the story of Miranda, a beautiful mermaid who lives in a cave at the bottom of the Mewstone, a large outcrop of rock just off the south coast of Devon, and of her adventures with her friends. The characters are fictitious, but the locations are real. The author combines fantasy with fiction to create a magical story.

The West Country provides the main source of inspiration for Arthur Gordon's poems, and he conveys his love for the West Country in a way that is both interesting and thoughtful. Other poems have a Scottish flavour, reflecting Arthur's childhood in Scotland. And the collection as a whole is shot through with a vein of quiet humour.
