Title: Granny's Village: Memories Of The Yorkshire Dales In The 1880s
Description: Futura Pubns. 1978 Paperback, 192pp. What is it about Yorkshire that produces such a rich vein of memories and memoirs? GRANNY'S VILLAGE is a charming account of the village of Thornton in the Yorkshire Dales in the early 20th century, based on the recollections of the author's grandmother. Roger Mason has drawn a faithful picture of the life and times not only of his grandparents, but also of a village and its inhabitants. He deftly and lovingly summons up the ghosts, mill-girls, postmen, wheelwrights, rectors; the village fete; the spread of industry and the changes in rural life and farming. Serialized on Radio 4. Fading on spine, pages beginning to tan. (ISBN: 9780708814550). Good.
