Compiled for the Yorkshire Dialect Society by a Leeds professor, this anthology runs from a dialogue of 1673 between an old wife, a lass and a butcher to poems of the First World War, with traditional songs such as The Wensleydale Lad and the old tale of the dreamer who seeks his fortune on London Bridge. An historical introduction explains the dialect and its writers.
