About the book
Old words from the West Country
Louise Maskill gathers the vivid vocabulary of traditional Somerset speech, a dialect with deep roots and a wealth of words connected with rural life, landscape, work and everyday experience.
Alongside the extensive A–Z are anecdotes, stories, rhymes and curiosities collected from historical sources and local tradition, helping preserve expressions that are increasingly disappearing from everyday use.
