Fast Fury by Freddie Truman, Stanley Paul & Co. Ltd. 1961
My schoolboy dream was to open the bowling for England .and I ‘went’ for my dream. Freddie Truman was rated as the fastest and best bowler in the world and the first one to reach 300 test wickets. This was his autobiography.
Vocabulary of East Anglia by Rev. Robert Forby, J.B. Nichols & Son 1830 Vol. I & Vol. II (first edition)
For me a valuable reference book on the grammar and vocabulary of the East Anglian dialects showing the wealth and depth of the Suffolk and Norfolk dialects.
Suffolk Dialect of the 20th Century (Third Edition) by A.O.D. Claxton, Norman Adlard & Co 1968
A fantastic book that completely endorsed Rev. Robert Forby, but in greater depth and specifically Suffolk .also more accurate due to greater research.
