In
Mandeville's Travels, a book which appeared in England around 1375,
Blemyah's are described as living near an island called 'Dondun': |
|
|
'In another island towards the south dwell folk of foul stature and cursed
kind, that have no heads. And their eyes be in their shoulders, and their
mouth is crooked as an horseshoe, and that is in the midst of their breast.'
These are only one of the many strange beings that live in this area.
Others include, for example,
'folk that have great ears and long that hang down to their knees'
and 'folk of foul fashion and shape that have the lip above the mouth
so great that when they sleep in the sun, they cover all the face with
that lip.'
