Ian Mcmillan is Yorkshire’s best loved poet and humourist and within these pages he imagines inventions that might have come from Yorkshire.
His descriptions of the patent wallet clamp, invented for those who are tight-fisted with their money, or for a machine to test out whether a man truly comes from “God’s own county” makes us smile with wonder.
There are more than 40 pages of wonderfully thought out inventions all illustrated by Tony Husband in his uniquely enhancing line drawings.
It is a book, poking fun at Yorkshiremen without offence, that the Dalesman can produce so well.
