Seller: ReadInk

Title: Cuckoo Narrow
Author: Thompson, T[homas].
Seller: ReadInk (United States)
Condition: Good
Description: London: George Allen & Unwin Ltd.. Good. 1937. First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [general overall wear, light bumping and visible wear to all corners, spine a bit turned, some soiling to edges of text block]. Novel by this Lancashire-born-and-bred writer and broadcaster, a working-class lad who spent part of his youth as a warehouse boy in a cotton mill. His writing career began with pieces for a local newspaper, and by the 1920s he was a regular contributor to The Guardian, in which his column ran regularly until his death in 1951. Over the course of his career he published more than a dozen books -- both novels and short stories, usually (as this one) about or based on the people and milieu of the town of Bury, where he lived all his life. His work has been much admired for its contribution to dialect literature; a reviewer of one of his later books declared that "what Kipling was to India and what O. Henry was to New York, Thompson is to Lancashire," and another critic called him "the most Lancashire of Lancashire writers.” .
