Yorkshire by Richard Morris (Omnibus)
Richard Morris's wide-ranging, lyrical and very personal history of Yorkshire. Read by Philip Jackson and Becky Wright.
Yorkshire is one of Europe's most geologically varied areas - a realm where mountain, plain, coast, chalk hills, wetland and heath intermingle.
Richard Morris delivers a wide-ranging, lyrical and very personal history of Yorkshire.
Discover the county through the eyes of artists (JMW Turner, William Callow, Henry Moore) and writers' imaginations (The Brontes, Winifred Holtby, JB Priestley).
‘Yorkshire’ explores the landscape and also the tumultuous history of God's Own County from The Wars of the Roses to the miners' strike of 1984.
Richard Morris is an Emeritus Professor of the University of Huddersfield.
Omnibus of five parts abridged by Pete Nichols.
