Songs of the Ridings

"Songs of the Ridings" by F. W. (Frederic William) Moorman is a poetic journey into the heart of Yorkshire, told through the voices of its people and the tales of its land. The stories capture the spirit of rural life, echoing with the sounds of farmers, sailors, and preachers, each poem a brushstroke painting an authentic portrait of community and heritage. Everyday moments turn into heartfelt verses, celebrating nature's beauty, family's bond, and local history, like memories of a Roman settlement. Characters wrestle with a rapidly changing world, clinging to traditions while facing love, loss, and the simple joys of returning home, giving us a look into the soul of Yorkshire.
