Going to Press: Tales of a Dales Reporter

By David Mitchell

In 1943, sixteen-year-old Jimmy Wilson steps into the bustling world of the Skeldersby Chronicle, where ink-stained fingers and a nose for news shape his future. From cub reporter to trusted journalist, Jimmy's adventures across the Yorkshire Dales, meeting eccentric locals, uncovering macabre mysteries, and mentoring under the sharp eye of magazine owner Jack Watson, lead to a pivotal moment: a chance to leave his beloved Dales for Fleet Street or stay for love. A heartwarming, nostalgic journey through mid-century rural England, perfect for fans of James Herriot and Gervase Phinn.
