LEWIS, RICHARD D. — The Billingers

red garage, Transcreen Publications. 2009. (ISBN: 9780953439843). Paperback. Condition good, clean. The Billingers tells the story of a little Lancashire village called Billinge. The author, Richard D. Lewis, who was born in Billinge in 1930, recounts his memories of life there and paints vivid pictures of all the main - and idiosyncratic - characters who formed the life-blood of the village. Lewis has also written down the grammar, key vocabulary and expressions of the Billinge dialect, now almost completely extinct. The Billingers is a fascinating, eclectic perspective on bygone years in the north of England. Used: Acceptable.
