Irreverent and entertaining, these gems promise to be just what their author hoped—"easy to pick up and more tantalizing for one's bedside than a novel." The passions and convictions that drove Winifred Holtby come to life in Remember, Remember!, which brings together for the first time stories from the collections Truth is Not Sober and The Pavements of Anderby, as well as a selection of previously unpublished tales. Many are autobiographical and feature the beloved Yorkshire farming community of her childhood.

From the Publisher
Irreverent and entertaining, these gems promise to be just what their author hoped: "easy to pick up and more tantalizing for one's bedside than a novel." The passions and convictions that drove Winifred Holtby come to life in "Remember, Remember!," which brings together for the first time stories from the collections "Truth is Not Sober" and "The Pavements of Anderby" as well as a selection of previously unpublished tales. Many are autobiographical and feature the beloved Yorkshire farming community of her childhood. Winifred Holtby (1898-1935) was a prolific journalist and novelist; her fifth novel, "South Riding" was published after her tragic death at the age of thirty-seven. Her remarkable and courageous life is recorded in Vera Brittain's acclaimed biography, "Testament of Friendship."
