Hometown Tales: Lancashire

Original tales by remarkable writers.

Hometown Tales is a series of books pairing exciting new voices with some of the most talented and important writers at work today. Some of the tales are fiction and some are narrative nonfiction—they are all powerful, fascinating and moving and aim to celebrate regional diversity and explore the meaning of home.

In this audiobook on Lancashire, you'll find two unique tales: an arresting portrait of a couple coming home to Lancashire, set over a pub crawl one night in Preston, written by award-winning novelist Jenn Ashworth; and, from new voice Benjamin Webster, a vivid coming-of-age story that traces the political and cultural history of Manchester, from its industrial past to its eventual separation from the county.
