HE ancient town of Skipton is called Skiptonin-Craven, to distinguish the capital of the district from Skipton-on-Swale, a place of very minor importance. The first syllable of Skipton is derived from an Anglo-Saxon word signifying "Sheep." Whitaker, frequently at guess-work in his derivatives, is correct here. In the Roman times, as we know historically, England was the granary of north-western Europe. Our southern, south-east, and central counties, not only produced sufficient grain for home consumption, but exported largely. The Saxons destroyed the civilization which was brought in by the Romans. Even agriculture was abandoned, along with viticulture, which also prevailed to a considerable extent, among the ancient Britons. Savages depend more on animal food, than on cereals. Cattle could be easily transferred from one district to another; even in days when the drover could not be put aside for a vehicle of any description. Our climate--we speak here of Craven-- is peculiarly favourable to cattle breeding. It is by no means so for the culture of cereals, unless science be called in aid; and there was not much science in Britain's Saxon days! The people, principally fed on pigs or wild boars; an indigenous race that abounded in the woods, where they still retain possession, as anyone who has visited some of our old forests is aware. These hardy brutes flourished from Norway to the Equator. From the tenth to the fifteenth century, sheep began to supplant the pigs, and to form the wealth of the country. Their flesh fed the people, and their wool clothed them, forming a becoming substitute for the cutical pictorialism of the Aboriginal Britons! One of our waggish friends suggests, that the horns of the rams would be...

Book excerpt: In the seventh novel in Julia Chapman’s Dales Detective series, Date with Betrayal, betrayal is rife in the idyllic Yorkshire Dales as Samson O’Brien, owner of the Dales Detective Agency, is targeted by a hitman. Can Bruncliffe save him? A brilliantly engaging and witty mystery, perfect for fans of Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club and M. C. Beaton’s Agatha Raisin series. Death is coming to Bruncliffe: its target is Samson O’Brien. Oblivious to his impending date with fate, Samson is busy juggling a number of cases at the Dales Detective Agency. Too busy, in fact, to notice his partner behaving oddly. Because Delilah Metcalfe knows what is coming. A hitman. Sent from London with one objective: to finally silence the troublesome O’Brien before his corruption case can make it to court. With Samson’s life in peril, and betrayal around every corner, Delilah has no choice but to call in favours from all of her Bruncliffe connections in order to counteract the menace threatening to engulf the Dales town. The only trouble is the townsfolk have long memories and deep grievances when it comes to Samson O’Brien. Trust must be earned and they will take some convincing before they put themselves in danger in order to save him. And even then, it might not prove enough . . . Full of charm, wit and characters that will capture your heart, the series begins with Date With Death. Have you read them all? ‘As village murder mysteries go, this clever, witty and realistic series is quite out of the ordinary and strongly recommended’ – Crime Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critics often comment on the importance of landscape in Wuthering Heights, and in this edition, Christopher Heywood locates the text more precisely than previous editions amid Yorkshire’s limestone north and moorland south, drawing out the importance of the region’s slaveholding society. Heywood also makes an important contribution to scholarship arguing persuasively for a re-structuring of the chapter and section breaks. Finally, this edition includes a variety of appendices that help to illuminate the novel’s historical background.
