'Powsels and Thrums' is a distillation of a lifetime of work. It blends family history, folklore, stories and poetry, bringing to life the language and landscape of Garner's beloved Cheshire. It works as a companion piece to 'The Voice that Thunders', just as 'Treacle Walker' was a companion to 'Where Shall We Run To'. Full of charm and insight, this book is a celebration of the writer's life, values and language.
