It was Morpeth historian Roland Bibby who began the process of publishing Amble-born Thomas Moody's hand-written 700-page illustrated manuscript manuscript, a handwritten work as distinguished from printing. The oldest manuscripts, those found in Egyptian tombs, were written on papyrus; the earliest dates from c.3500 B.C. of The Mid-Northumbrian Dialect, a dictionary and reference book of local dialect and life in the early 20th Century. After several years in preparation, with Roland's daughter Kim Bibby-Wilson having taken up the challenge to continue the task, the book will be released at the event.
