Publisher's Synopsis
Charles Wood is fervent about Staffordshire. With gentle humour, he celebrates the odd, the unusual, the historic, and the peculiarities of modern life - from dialect to deer-horn dancing - that make this county such a deeply satisfying place to live in and to visit. Full of fascinating people - like the Wedgwoods and the Peels - the book is rich in folk-tale and fantasy, football and food (including the many different local and national staples that hail from the county, including Staffordshire oatcakes, Staffordshire cheese, Burton beer, Marmite and Branston pickle).
