Echoes From The Hills is a fascinating insight into a world gone by: a world of pop shops and puddlers, soldiers and sanatoria, brass bands and brickyards.

Bradford-born in 1907, when Britain ruled a mighty empire but some children went to school barefoot, Richard Tempest - a largely self-educated, working-class Yorkshireman who entered employment aged twelve - had a lifelong thirst for knowledge and cultivated many interests, including music, literature, and Yorkshire dialect. He was also a writer; starting in the mid 1950s, he wrote many short stories and poems - some of which, narrated by Richard himself, were featured on the long-running BBC radio programme The Northcountryman.  This book, an anthology of some of Richard's recollections and poems, provides a  first-hand account of what life in working-class West Yorkshire was like in the  first half of the twentieth century.
