Adam, a young giant brought up in a colony of north-countrymen among the lead mines of Spain, comes home on his father's death to the little town of Winterings, among the dales of the North Riding. ***The fells about the town are a warren of small lead mines, and Winterings is still a mining community, although the prosperity of the mid-century has passed. Two concerns work the area, and it is round the rivalry of the East side and West side companies that the story is built. ---***Thomas Armstrong's already wide reputation - he has not yet written a novel that is not a best-seller - is founded on his unique ability to pin his character-drawing and observation down to the concrete historical details of a particular trade. ---***In Adam Brunskill the problem is the co-ordination of an industry that is by its nature fragmentary, after the great days of its expansion are past; a subject that offers scope to Armstrong's rare talent for solid observation, human sympathy and strong narrative against the bleak background of his native dales.' (Quote from inside front flap of jacket blurb). ***First impression of the true first edition, in nice collectable condition, in its original attractively illustrated dustwrapper.
