Description

Known for its cricket legends, striking miners and iconic pudding, Yorkshire is a county steeped in history. Tracing its development from Viking capital to industrial powerhouse, Yorkshire: A Very Peculiar History scratches beneath the surface and past its cliches, uncovering the weird-but-wonderful aspects of 'God's Own County' from all angles.

Featuring a host of characters from Yorkshire past and present, including Guy Fawkes to Michael Parkinson, it's not all grit and grime! This humorous book tells the astonishing tale of Yorkshire - the place, the people and their culture - through quirky tales, fascinating fact boxes, recipes, lists and maps.
