About This Item
"The book was a great success, Hartley and Ingilby's masterpiece, their best-known and best-loved work, written in an accessible style which connected directly with their readers. 'I am not very old', wrote one, 'but how strange it is to find that things, & the names for them, that were in daily use when I was a child are not now used, & many though not antiques are collector's pieces.'
Arthur Raistrick, eminent Yorkshire geologist, industrial archaeologist and writer, told the authors 'you have preserved something of untold value.' It is this quality, Hartley and Ingilby's pioneering approach to local history, and the significance of what they captured, which have prompted the re-publication of Life and Tradition fifty years on, after being out of print for many years."
This copy is near fine in green cloth with yellow titles on the spine and a yellow illustration on the front cover. Very slight fading at spine ends where DJ has chipped, but no other marks or damage. The unclipped DJ is very good, with small chips at the spine ends and minor fading on jacket rear.
