Benjamin Brierley excelled as a short story writer. In this collection he takes us back in time to a village populated by handloom weavers somewhere in the region between Middleton and Rochdale. An excellent introduction to Lancashire life in the early years of the industrial era told by a master story-teller in the light-hearted and fun-loving way he was rightly famed for.
