A history of the North Sea coast and its social developments, looking at the dialect, vocabularly and literature. B/w photos and line illustrations.
Fishing and Folk combines dialect vocabulary and literature as a way of explaining the North Sea coast and its social development is something of an experiment - a history-by-vocabulary possibly unique to this title. This book brings together a subject as challenging as the coast itself, with its scenery, weather, wildlife, boats and fishing operations, salmon-tickling, smuggling, communities and people.
