Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from About Yorkshire
The people are most interesting; they are almost always kind and genial, full Of a quaint racy humour, and, Spite Of their proverbial thrift, hospitable to strangers. The dialect differs in the three Ridings; it is not easy to understand, but even when unintelligible there is in it a quaint mellowness Of sound in perfect keeping with the comfortable well-kept cottages, nestling two and three together under a tree, or with the large gray farm steads, surrounded by golden ricks, of which we got glimpses in our journeys through the broad dales that are such distinctive features Of the county.
