Yorkshire: A Lyrical History of England's Greatest County

By Richard Morris

Book Overview

'Restless, poetic, strange ... and the territory it describes deserves nothing less' Observer
'Glittering and energetic' Country Life

Yorkshire is 'a continent unto itself', a region where mountain, plain, coast, downs, fen and heath lie close. By weaving history, family stories, travelogue and ecology, Richard Morris reveals how Yorkshire took shape as a landscape and in literature, legend and popular regard. The result is a fascinating and wide-ranging meditation on Yorkshire and Yorkshireness, told through the prism of the region's most extraordinary people and places.
