''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.

Industry Reviews

Reading the book is like watching the author sift through layers of time ... There is a wealth of fascinating information - Guardian

[A] quirky, personal history of the Ridings ... Morris writes insightfully not just about one county, but about how places become what they are - Mail on Sunday

In this meticulously researched book, Richard Morris reveals Yorkshire and Yorkshireness through a series of extraordinary journeys and stories ... [His] description of the River Swale as glittering and energetic could be a metaphor for his own writing, which is itself relentlessly energetic ... Fascinating - Country Life
