The book - around ten inches long and three inches wide with a soft brown
paper cover - contained stories from local people, as well as the famous author.
The back cover details a programme of events and proudly states 'the famous
litterateur' was due to open the day before the ladies orchestra performed
and local piano recitals.
'It was a varied book with lots of bits and pieces and stories,' said
Mr Elliott, a retired woodcutter and father-of-three.
'I have no idea how many they made and sold. I've had this book for about
40 or 50 years. I must have got it from a friend because I can't remember
buying it from anyone.
'Usually people would throw out these books or sell them off. It has been
in my family for quite a while now.
'I have no idea if it has ever been published - I've never seen it. I've
always been interested in history and my family has always passed on stories
and I suppose this was one of the stories that was passed down.'
