Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Goodies and Other Stories in a Yorkshire Dialect
One peculiarity of the district which is perhaps worthy of notice is that there seems to be a difficulty in pronouncing the th sound at the beginning and end of some words. The word three, for instance, often becomes tree, and throne be comes trone, with the suspicion of an effort in the pronunciation, and strength sometimes almost becomes strengt. But the difficulty is not always apparent. The word through, for instance, becomes throofi' with the proper th sound.
