Ab-O'Th'-Yate Sketches and Other Stories - Volume I (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781473330801)

This vintage book contains a collection of short stories written by Ben Brierly. Brierly wrote many droll and peculiarly humerous stories set in south Lancashire. Full of both comedy and pathos, his tales paint an authentic picture of provincial life in Lancaster and continue to be popular amongst residents of the area today. Highly recommended for those familiar with Lancashire and fans of Bierly's wonderful work. Contents include: "A Moston Rent Dinner", "Ab-o'th-Yate in London", "Preparin' for Walmsley Fowt Jubilee Celebration", "Walmsley Fowt Bonfire", "Prince o' Wales' Visit to Walmsley Fowt", "Recollections of the Great Jubilee Exhibition", "At the Manchester Exhibition"m "Philosophic Reflections on the Great Jubilee Echibition", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with the original artwork and text.
