Story
Irreverent and entertaining stories which Jameson describes as 'easy to pick up and more tantilising for one's bedside table than a novel'. This selection of Winifred Holtby's short stories is drawn from her two volumes, "Truth is not Sober" and "Pavements of Anderby", published two years after her death. The stories are irreverent and many are autobiographically based, focusing on the Yorkshire farming community.

Story
Winifred Holtby (1898-1935) is remembered today mainly as the author of South Riding. But South Riding was only the last of Winifred's six published novels and many other publications of poems, pamphlets, short stories, and newspaper articles and reviews which revealed her as an outstanding advocate of feminism, socialism, and pacifism and a champion of other progressive and humanitarian causes.
