Racy Vernacular

What greater way of luring in the readers of 1962 than the promise of "the racy vernacular of the West Riding of Yorkshire."

Mind, this was three years after Penguin had published Lady Chatterley's Lover, so the ground had been broken.

A world before I was born, so for me a period piece.

If only misogynists like Vic had been consigned to history.
