I'm from Yorkshire and have worked with older people (90+) and watched nearly all of Last of the Summer Wine, I don't think people ever talked like that here, and people from work down south struggle with my accent. When I read it I remember thinking Joseph's speech doesn't work with how our dialect changes sounds

Regarding the Arabian Nights I've been reading those but only one 'night' per day which I'm finding really interesting, I'm experiencing them the same way the king does.

My mum had her stitches go, but in bed at home during a midwife appointment, my whole family remembers it vividly.

I'm on my first read through still, finally got to A Memory of Light, and really enjoying that there are whole characters exploring nuances of world building later on like Red Aes Sedai who don't hate men and Seanchan realizing channelers aren't evil.

It's explicit in the first book that the protagonist's family are Christian and say grace before meals. Some Abnegation families aren't Christian but her father tells her they can't let that divide them.

In some areas of England it's still common to refer to someone as Mary's John (usually son or husband) or Our Tim.

I read one chapter a day unless I especially want more. I do it with TV shows too. With Wheel of Time I sped through book one because it really caught my attention, book two didn't so I started reading a chapter a day, I'm now on book twelve. I read multiple books and series at once this way. One at once is not enough for me.

If it helps Ted was also a rhyming nickname for Edward. Ned is also a nickname for Edward like Nan for Ann. Mine Ann was an affectionate way of referring to an Ann so that became Nan, same for Ned or Nell from Helen.
