Reviews / Votes
"Packed with details of local life and written in a style which bowls along... the reader can pick up the book, dip in, and be immediately transported back into the 1800s... Attractive to anyone with roots in North Westmorland" The Cumberland and Westmorland Herald "A work of considerable human interest as the larger, abstract picture is built on the details of everday lives and incidents" The Cumberland Times"More details
