A Biography of Yorkshire Rick Broadbent

Written from the perspective of an exiled Yorkshireman, this bestselling, awardwinning author returns to his native county to discover and reveal its soul.

Now Then is a biographical mosaic of England’s largest county. From the Brontë sisters and Pulp to the Yorkshire pudding, accent and Ripper, this is a warm but searching look at a place that was home to the world’s first football club and England’s last witch-burning. Ultimately, this is an affectionate but unsparing look at its people and their flinty vowels. It is about the real Yorkshire and its daily life, as well as Dracula and Geoffrey Boycott. Incorporating social history, memoir and reportage, Now Then paints a picture of what it means to be from Yorkshire – both now and back then.
