Gospels in Broad Yorkshire
This is not a 'translation' of the Gospels, but a retelling of them in the homely speech that might have been used by a carpenter talking to fishermen and countryfolk. The author believes that if we had been able to listen to Jesus and the disciples speaking, it would have sounded like an equivalent of the robust provincial speech preserved in a dialect such as this.
Ee By Gum, Lord! is not, therefore a gimmick or send-up of the Gospels, but a serious attempt to bring out the meaning of well-known passages, looking at them afresh, from an unfamiliar angle. "Ee By Gum, Lord!" by Arnold Kellett, is available from Amazon.co.uk for approximately £3.95
