Yorkshire is ‘a continent unto itself’, a region where mountain, plain, coast, downs, fen and heath lie close.
 
By weaving history, family stories, travelogue and ecology, Richard Morris reveals how Yorkshire took shape as a landscape and in literature, legend and popular regard.
 
The result is a fascinating and wide-ranging meditation on Yorkshire and Yorkshireness, told through the prism of the region’s most extraordinary people and places.
