"This book brought back many memories for me, especially as I now reside in the USA and miss Houghton-le-Spring terribly. The hundreds of photos taught me a great deal about the Feast - I didn't know it was so old. This book makes me want to be back home during the October Feast time. My congratulations to the author for gathering so many amazing photos and for the book being a good read, too."
JOHN HOPPER, AMAZON CUSTOMER
