The De Gotnote Letters

The hilarious writing of Yorkshires last remaining aristocrat. The fictitious letters and illustrations in this book give hours of fun to the reader. Here is the description from the back of the book. Brancaster Aloysius Montmorency Hugh Tarquin Parquinne-Ffynes, eleventh Earl de Gotnote, known to his close associates as Binky, (and one or two other epithets that have no place in a publication as sophisticated as this one), lived on the Family Estate between Skipton and Harrogate. He was fiercely proud of his Yorkshire heritage, but having been educated at an English Public School, there was no trace of an accent in his voice. He was firmly of the opinion that, had Danelaw been upheld for a couple of millenia longer, although not necessarily with the wife-beating, Yorkshire could have declared independence and saved all the messing about with the War of the Roses. This conflict is still perpetuated by men in white flannels rather than armour, and was the cause of much partisan muttering, although never too seriously. Unless the White Rose lost, of course! These are the collected letters of a Yorkshire Aristocrat, who charmed everybody that he met, unless he deliberately chose not to. Then, to quote his gamekeeper: "Tha gets aht on it, reight sharpish!" Here is a reflection of a Golden Era that will never be seen again.
