What is it about Yorkshire that produces such a rich vein of memories and memoirs? Granny's Village is a charming account of the village of Thornton in the Yorkshire Dales, drawn from the recollections of the author's grandmother. Roger Mason has drawn a faithful picture of the life and times not only of his grandparents but of a village and its inhabitants. He deftly and lovingly summons up the ghosts, mill-girls, and wheelwrights; the village fete and the village idiot; the spread of industry and the change in agriculture.Mason, Roger is the author of 'Granny's Village Memories of the Yorkshire Dales in the 1880s' with ISBN 9780753157206 and ISBN 0753157209.
