Description

”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.
