Another Lad of Evesham Vale Bob Woodroofe

This collection includes poems about growing up in Evesham, picking all the fruit & vegetables & working the land. Others tell of Evesham's history & the changes over time & reach out around the Vale &up to the present day. It was out in the Vale's fields & orchards that I first heard & learnt the local dialect known as 'Asum Grammar'. This is very much my own version of it & is included to capture & appreciate the local dialect before it disappears.
