HORRIBLE Histories author Terry Deary will launch a less gruesome book on the region's heritage this week.
Sunderland-born Mr Deary, who lives in Burnhope, near Stanley, County Durham, will be at the Beamish Museum on Wednesday, to launch its guide book.
The book will arrive by Georgian steam train on the museum's 1825 railway, to be loaded on to a Dales pack pony, ready for distribution around the site.
The 64-page guide was developed by Beamish staff.
Mr Deary, whose bestsellers include Gorgeous Georgians and Vile Victorians, is a member of the Beamish Development Trust.
