About the book
A voice of its own
Norfolk dialect is rich in words shaped by farming, fishing, the Broads and generations of everyday county life. Louise Maskill draws on the speech she heard growing up near Norwich, gathering expressions that are memorable, practical and often wonderfully direct.
Alongside the A–Z are anecdotes, stories, rhymes and curiosities from around Norfolk. Together they preserve a vocabulary that has become less common while celebrating the people and places that gave it life.
