About this book
A silk top hat becomes a matter of household pride in John Hartley's sketches of Yorkshire life. Mally compares Sammywell's appearance with a neighbour's, then takes charge of a shopping expedition meant to improve his standing at chapel. Their exchanges set the tone for a collection built around domestic arguments, local manners and the sound of Yorkshire dialect. A smoky chimney brings a further contest over work and responsibility.
The collection also makes room for a different mood. In the factory story "True Blue," Susy, a young widow, supports herself by returning to the weaving shed where she worked before her marriage. Her circumstances place independence and grief alongside the comic scenes.
