Riassunto

EBENEZER'S TALE: a light, fictional narrative about two lively young Yorkshire lads rambling into the Dales and into the totally unexpected, in the spectacular caved and pot-holed countryside. Truly wild animals, which roamed widely before continents divided, appear, as do Romans, Vikings and Roundheads, also monks journeying to Fountains Abbey; all part of Yorkshire's earlier times. At one point, the boys find themselves talking to one of the builders of the great Ribbleshead Viaduct. More local characters find their way into the story. An exchange with some Lancashire witches and a visit to the Lakes soon after the lads set out, start them guessing. Finally returning home on their unusual transport, they are presented with a real poser. And the epilogue has a mysterious conclusion.

Su questo libro

L'autore

The author spent his important growing-up years in the Yorkshire Dales. After service with the Royal Navy, he began a professional career: at Harrogate and a further studentship at the Royal Horticultural Society's Gardens, Wisley, to qualify. Some years later, he founded his own garden design business. Writing for foremost gardening publications, lecturing, judging and contributing to a number of gardening books, proceeded over many years. Occasional writing for theatre augmented his activities, as did actual performing in the field of music and drama. The spirit of the Dales took firm hold very early on - its topography, character, history over the aeons and certainly its remarkable weather in all its wide variety and caprice. Life took the author, who has lived in Hertfordshire, now, for a number of years, away from the North, but affinity has never varied. Frequent holidays in the Dales with his wife and three children - now grown up, with families of their own - were essential. Travelling there will always remain very much a 'going home'.
