In Yorkshire: There and Back, Andrew Martin celebrates Britain's
most charismatic county, looking back at the Yorkshire of his 1970s
childhood and as it is today. Journeying to every historic corner,
Martin writes affectionally about its past, present and
peculiarities. York is an evolving city of chocolate, trains, pubs
and tourists. Scarborough should be viewed as the posh place it
once was, with surprising secrets pertaining to Adolf Hitler and
the sea. Leeds is seen as the 'hard' town with its party goers and
late-night provocateurs, but its indoor market never fails to offer
a sense of quintessential Yorkshireness on a rainy Saturday
afternoon, with milky tea served in beakers and the Leeds United
result coming through by osmosis. And the Moors and Dales continue
to boast beauty and danger alike. Effortlessly entertaining and
wonderfully detailed, Yorkshire: There and Back is a memoir, guide,
and all-round appreciation of 'God's own county'. Praise for Andrew
Martin 'There is no one else who is writing like Andrew Martin
today...unique and important' Guardian 'Iconoclastic, entertaining
and often devastatingly witty' Barry Forshaw, Independent 'He can
stop you in your tracks with a well-turned phrase' Sunday Times 'A
genuinely funny writer...also a daring one' The Times
