About the book
A voice of its own
Lincolnshire’s dialect reflects a county with deep agricultural roots and a strong sense of local identity. Lindsey Bourne brings together old and modern words, phrases and pronunciations, revealing how much of the county’s working and rural past survives in its language.
Alongside the glossary are traditions, characters and stories from across Lincolnshire — from hiring fairs and farm customs to Farmer Wink, local landmarks and surprising county connections. The result is an affectionate introduction to the speech and history of the land of the Yellowbellies.
