Mrs Ratcliffe's three act drama set in the Yorkshire Dales. "And the old woman began, first setting her stage, then introducing her characters that she had already taught me to know far better than I knew our neighbours. She would catch the different qualities of their voices; she would blow the hunting measures on the silver horn that had once belonged to Squire Dalmaine, until above the wailing of the wind I could hear the horses' hooves thudding up and down the dale. The old grandfather clock ticked in time to the flowing of her voice, and the evening would pass swiftly. Suddenly he would realise that the fire was tired, that the kitchen was becoming chilly, and that another day had heard its "Gone Away." Colour frontispiece and eight full-page black & white illustrations by Charles Simpson. Book in very good condition. Re-backed. Boards re-covered and endpapers renewed. Corners of upper board bumped (top) and a little frayed (bottom). Text block fore edge and bottom edge soiled and spotted. Mild spotting and occasional soiling throughout.

Dorothy Una Ratcliffe (20 April 1887 – 20 November 1967), often known as D.U.R., was a socialite, heiress and author. She wrote in the Yorkshire dialect, despite being born in Sussex and brought up in Surrey. She published 49 books, edited a magazine called The Microcosm, travelled all over the world, and was a prolific collector of books, manuscripts and other documents. Dorothy had a deep love for the Yorkshire Dales and its dialects and customs. She published her first volume of Dales ballads, The Dales of Arcady, in 1918 and produced many subsequent volumes, poems and plays over the following years. She also had a passion for Gypsy and Traveller culture which provided another subject for her writing. She published 49 books in her lifetime, was a regular contributor to The Dalesman and the Yorkshire Post and edited the literary magazine The Microcosm of which G. K. Chesterton and J. R. R. Tolkien were contributors. She was also an active campaigner for the Yorkshire Dialect and Gypsy Lore societies. This book is a celebration of foxhunting in the Yorkshire Dales and has the benefit of illustrations by noted equestrian artist Charles Simpson. Ref N 5
