Cream Tea and Meet Colin Speakman

Join us for a Cream Scone and a cup of tea as we meet well-known Yorkshire author Colin Speakman. Colin will read a story from his new book 'The Nut Brown Maid: and other stories from the Yorkshire Dales', before chatting to us about his writing and poetry.

About The Nut Brown Maid: and other stories from The Yorkshire Dales.

Well known Yorkshire author Colin Speakman's collection of thirteen famous stories from the Yorkshire Dales are more than mere re-tellings of tales that form part of a Dales literary heritage, but are an imaginative blend of myth, legend, ballad, folklore and actual history, explored with humour, wit, passion and more than an occasional flash of poetry. Through all these stories runs a vivid sense of place - the richly historic landscape of the Yorkshire Dales themselves. Suitable for readers of all ages, from twelve upwards.
