Summary

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.

Somewhat disappointed

I have this book and love it, but had to switch off the audiobook version as the narrator continually mispronounced place names that I'm very familiar with. Annoying in a book specifically about Yorkshire!
