'A rich and kaleidoscopic history of a region, its landscape, industries, culture and people, from the retreat of the glaciers in the Peak District to the shattering of the Red Wall and taking in everything from the Brigantes to the Beatles. Northerners is rigorous, digressive, discursive, always entertaining and enlightening, as full of good things as the North itself.' Stuart Maconie, author of Pies and Prejudice: In Search of the North 'A wonderful compendium of the North's proud, deep, ancient otherness.' James Hawes, author of The Shortest History of England 'Brian Groom is one of the most respected journalists of his generation - an essential writer on politics and business and a tireless champion of the north.' George Parker, political editor, Financial Times 'Anything by Brian Groom is worth reading. He knows the world of power intimately without being seduced into it. Brian is his own man, a measured and essential voice in these compromised times.' Adam Boulton, editor-at-large at Sky News and presenter of All Out Politics 'Few people are better placed to write the story of northerners than Brian Groom, one of journalism's most astute observers of the state of Britain.' Helen Pidd, North of England editor, The Guardian 'Brian Groom is one of the leading media experts on Britain's regions and nations and a perceptive analyst on topics such as politics, business and Europe.' Duncan Weldon, The Economist, author of Two Hundred Years of Muddling Through: The Surprising Story of the British Economy
