About the Book
Northern England is known for many things, some serious, others a little wacky: monkey hangers, the curious Burning Bartle Ceremony and ferret legging. There are places called Crackpot, Giggleswick and Sexhow and it was the birthplace of Stan Laurel, Guy Fawkes, the Bounty mutineer Fletcher Christian and James Cook.
Northern Light is an eclectic gathering of short stories, by the author, each a snapshot of life, culture, customs, humour, tradition and history in the land of flat caps and black puddings. Ay, and ducks that fly back'ards to keep the muck out of their eyes.
