Author David Seymour ordered an extra print run of his book Suns of Home following the successful event at Misterton Library,
At the launch Mr Seymour was able to give customers details of their ancestors and show village scenes that have long-since changed.
Suns of Home describes how Misterton and West Stockwith enjoyed ‘boom’ times in the Victorian and Edwardian periods before the war: full employment, rapid population growth, developing industries, new public buildings, and a confidence that things could only get better.
This is the first of four books set to be released by Mr Seymour.
