Adam Brunskill is a 1952 historical novel by the British writer Thomas Armstrong. It was his fourth novel and as with much of his work focuses on Northern England. Drawing on the tradition of interwar regional writing of the area, it enjoyed significant popularity along with another new Armstrong novel King Cotton.[1] It is the only major work to focus on the lead mining industry of the Yorkshire Dales.[2]
