**'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.
