Investigating areas as diverse as travel literature, fiction, dialect, the stage, radio, television, feature film, music and sport, this book assesses the portrayal of the North of England within the national culture and how this has impacted upon attitudes to the region and its place within notions of Englishness. The relationship between these cultural forms and the construction of regional identity has received only limited consideration and this fascinating work provides not only much new information, but also a map for future writers. The North, although seen ultimately as other and the subject of much critical comment, is also shown here as capable of stimulating the creative imagination and invigorating English culture in sometimes surprising ways.

My message to one is my message to all. Seek me in your daily life and in your quiet time and you shall discover true purpose in living. I am ever available, but how often my children forget to turn to me. This book is a yearlong reminder to seek within and let the love you find express freely in the world. Centered in me, you can live the life I brought you into the world to live: one that serves the greater good and lifts you to the "life more abundant". Take council with me each day and embrace your loving nature. He Talks With Me is one person's recorded guidance from God. The message of love is eternal and never grows old. God wants us to know how much He cares about every aspect of our lives. To that end, His prayer is that this book reaches "those willing to receive it . . . those inspired enough to act from it". May His love be the guiding light of our lives, not just once in awhile, but in every moment.
