Product Description
Synopsis
Paying no heed to his gammy left knee, Wolverhampton-bred writer Bob Bibby set out to discover the Black Country. He vowed not to return until he'd found out why the dialect is so mellifluous, where black country 'osses come from and what Lenny Henry was like as a schoolboy. Anxious about marching off into the unknown alone, he enlists ex-Scaffold member and Tiswas front man John Gorman as companion and bodyguard. What ensues is a journey that is in turn entertaining, informative and wickedly irreverent. Join our unlikely heroes as they stamp on the stereotypes, sample the gastronomic delights, and unravel the mysteries, both past and present, of the Black Country.

4.0 out of 5 stars
excellent summary of a facinating area,
By A Customer
This review is from: Grey Paes and Bacon: From the Heart of the Black Country (Paperback)
Bob Biddy's travels through the Black Country is an evocative trail along the canals of this once famous industrial area. It stays away from the flat caps and racing pigeon stereo types of the region, and focus's on the current days ways in the area. a witty and accurate view of a much loved area- anyone who lives or knows the area will feel like they are visiting with an old friend.

I expected much more....,
By Nick Parker (Wednesbury, West Midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Grey Paes and Bacon: From the Heart of the Black Country (Paperback)
I brought this book with high expectations. I was hoping to be educated about the area I have lived in all of my life, instead all I got was an amble around, visting museums and shops that were always closed. I finished the book, totally uninspired and with the feeling it could have been done a lot lot better.
