Cloth. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardcover. First Edition. Tykes, Dumplings and Scrumpy Jacks. Describe someone as a Cockney, Scouser, Lancastrian or Yorkshire Tyke and an image will immediately spring to mind of what they will look like, how they will speak, and even the sort of personality they are likely to have. But are these pre-conceived notions correct? And do people from other parts of Great Britain such as Kent, Lincolnshire, Somerset and Sussex, also have characters, habits and ways of living that are typical of their own particular part of the country? In this entertaining examination of 25 distinctive regions of Great Britain, the author draws on his extensive knowledge of geography and history, intriguing market research statistics and his own personal experience, to show that there is much more to the people of Yorkshire, Rutland and all the other corners of our island home than any brief generalisation can hope to portray. Complementing his discoveries, many of which will surprise and stimulate the reader, are more than 150 photographs and line drawings of the people and places he describes, as well as pieces of verse and witty observations from a large number of writers at various periods in our country's history. Together they paint a fascinating picture of Great Britain and her people in the late 20th century. Illustrated. 240 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
