A Centenary Compendium of the Jabez Stories: Stories in North Staffordshire Dialect

By A. Scott

A collection of stories in North Staffordshire Dialect which document life in a small mining village in the early part of the 20th Century. The centenary compendium edition has been produced by the author's sons to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Wilfred Bloor the author of the Jabez North Staffordshire dialect stories who wrote under the pen name of A Scott. The book has been compiled from the original three Jabez books published in the 1970's. The compendium contains many original photographs taken by the author which portray many of the events and scenes which he used as a background for his stories. These photographs and his stories provide a unique social record of life in a North Staffordshire rural mining village in the period between the two World Wars.
