Customer Reviews
Fun and informative
Arnold Kellett is a man who knows and treasures Yorkshire, its landscape, it people and its language - and that comes out clearly in this labour of love. He makes the point, very succinctly, that "Yorkshire" is not just a dialect, it's an ancient language which still retains words and expressions which have long since vanished from modern English.
This dictionary is a work of scholarship as well as a thoroughly enjoyable read. As suitable for the casual browser as for the serious student, it will delight anyone who is even passingly familiar with Yorkshire's Broad Acres.
Christmas present for a yorkshire man
This was a great success as a present for my yorkshire son-in-law who is quite dificult to buy for. I had been trying to find one for a long time- silly me I should have looked on Amazon first
