Ebenezer's Tale

EBENEZER’S TALE: a light, fictional narrative about two lively young Yorkshire lads rambling into the Dales and into the totally unexpected, in the spectacular caved and pot-holed countryside. Truly wild animals, which roamed widely before continents divided, appear, as do Romans, Vikings and Roundheads, also monks journeying to Fountains Abbey; all part of Yorkshire’s earlier times. At one point, the boys find themselves talking to one of the builders of the great Ribbleshead Viaduct. More local characters find their way into the story. An exchange with some Lancashire witches and a visit to the Lakes soon after the lads set out, start them guessing. Finally returning home on their unusual transport, they are presented with a real poser. And the epilogue has a mysterious conclusion.
