'A spring-time saunter is the story of a leisurely four-day ramble from the upland village of Mount Tabor, near Halifax, over Pennine Heights to the Bronte village of Haworth and back through the Luddenden Dean Valley, Oxenhope, the Worth Valley, Ponden, Stanbury, Widdop and Walshaw Dean. In this book, Whiteley Turner recounts country customs and traditions and recalls the many Yorkshire 'characters' he met on the way. For many years the author had collected and recorded the tales and legends of the countryside and the memories and reflections of its older inhabitants. The book is a treasury of country lore and fascinating personalities.
