An Encyclopedia of North-East England | |||
| British Isles | ||||

| Birlinn 2009 532 pages | ||||
| Hardback Illustrated 1841588040 | ||||
| Published Price £30.00 | Our Price £12.99 | |||
| The North East of England - the ancient counties of Durham and Northumberland - is a very distinctive region of the UK, markedly different in history, tradition and culture from neighbouring Yorkshire, Cumbria and Scotland. That distinctive quality justifies this encyclopedia covering its history, people and places, industries and institutions. The substantial entries are arranged alphabetically, from Acca (?-740), Bishop of Hexham, to the Russian novelist Zamyatin (1884-1937), who was much influenced by his stay in Jesmond, Newcastle from 1916-17. Indexed. | ||||
