Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Edward Bates (illustrator). Reprint. There's nowt so queer as folk - and Yorkshire has produced some of the queerest. There was Bill Sharp, who went to bed for 50 years when his girl failed to turn up for their wedding; Jemmy Hirst, who rode a bull to hounds; Jonathan Martin who set fire to York Minster; Job Senior, the hermit of Ilkley Moor, who gave advice to the lovelorn from a shack the size of a dog kennel; 'Pie' Leach, of Keighley, who had his tombstone erected six years before it was needed; And don't forget Henry Jenkins (who stayed remarkably sane, considering that he lived to be 169). Not to mention Squire Waterton, Mother Shipton, Eugene Aram, 'Prophet' Wroe, 'Flint Jack' and others. Read all about them - and be comforted to know there are people even odder than you .
