Give the Gift of North Yorkshire This Christmas: A Journey in Verse

Dear Friends and fellow lovers of all things Yorkshire and poetic,

As the crisp air of late autumn settles across our beloved North Yorkshire, and the scent of mulled wine begins to hint at the festive season, my thoughts turn, as ever, to the timeless beauty of our landscape. But this year, my thoughts also turn to you – and to the perfect gift for those who cherish the rolling moors, the ancient towns, and the dramatic coastline as much as I do.

My latest collection, 'North Yorkshire In Verse: Moor To Shore In Poetry,' published just a few months ago, is a heartfelt invitation to explore the very soul of this magnificent county through the rhythm and rhyme of poetry. From the dramatic cliffs of the coast to the tranquil dales, from bustling market towns to secluded hamlets, each poem is a snapshot, a memory, a feeling inspired by the unique spirit of North Yorkshire.

Perhaps you’ve wandered through the elegant streets of Harrogate, felt the gentle mist of its famous spa waters, or admired its floral displays? This is a place I hold dear, and it inspired these lines:

"Among the spa town’s gentle haze, Harrogate glows in stately ways— With gardens curled in primrose cheer, And waters once believed to clear"

This short verse, like many others in the book, aims to capture not just the sights, but the very essence of these cherished places, inviting you to pause, reflect, and perhaps rediscover a favourite spot.

With Christmas just around the corner, 'North Yorkshire In Verse' makes a truly unique and thoughtful gift. Imagine giving the gift of a literary stroll through our cherished county – a present that can be savoured by the fireside, evoking memories of past visits or inspiring future adventures. It's the ideal stocking filler for any lover of poetry, British history, local culture, or simply anyone who holds a special place in their heart for North Yorkshire. It’s a gift that speaks volumes, reflecting careful thought and an appreciation for beauty.

Warmly, Alden Carrow
