Some of the best items published over the last quarter of the last century in the Society’s Summer Bulletin. Sixty eight pieces that have been carefully selected to showcase the best of our dialect and grammar.
You have to supply your own accent, but each item states which Riding it comes from, and you can modify your reading as appropriate.
Some of the best Yorkshire dialect writers are represented, Arthur Kinder, Ruth Dent,Arnold Kellett, Bill Cowley, and so many more writers, with both poetry and prose.
Updated nursery rhymes, tales of winda cleeanin’ or recollection of that magical time when short trahziz gave way to long uns. The whole of Yorkshire life is represented (well maybe not quite ‘all’)
It packs so much into a small volume of 125 pages, plus a glossary for those rare words makes it a perfect gift, or a perfect bedside book.
