Reet Frae t'Hoss's Mooth
Irving Graham
£6.00
The late Irving Graham joined the Lakeland Dialect Society many years ago and was secretary from 1985 to 1996 and carried out the job with efficiency and great interest. Irving retired in 1989 which meant he had more time to research the 'family tree' and do more dialect writing. He produced many poems and stories over the years and his dialect writing was always to an extremely high standard and very well presented, as you will find in this edition.
